Subject: Re: Graphing 2Ds in Python is pretty easy...

Kaspar,

I am quite the novice to ruby however, I'm willing to try to get this
code running.  I have no idea what might be important so I have just
copy a bunch of things into here.  Story for the multitude.

Let me tell you what I believe I have done up to this point.

=============================================
I installed:
ruby181-13.exe

=============================================
I had previously installed:
Python-2.3.2-1.exe

=============================================
I typed:
gem --install-stub -i RMagick-win32-1.5.0-mswin32.gem

Which returned:
Attempting local installation of 'RMagick-win32-1.5.0-mswin32.gem'
Successfully installed RMagick-win32 version 1.5.0

=============================================

=================================================
from SciTE

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require_gem 'RMagick'

        from (irb):2

==============================================
> b) Does your gem installation look ok ? 

When press F5 from SciTE Version 1.59:
E:\Documents and Settings\tnt\ruby\Ruby Gems\rubygems-0.6.1\install.rb

I get back:
ruby install.rb

When I type into the MS-DOS promt:
gem --local --info progressbar

I see:
