Subject: oneclick installer, freeride

anybody NOT developing the oneclick installer or  freeride can skip
this...

in my quest for debugging ruby via ide i used the one click installer
(ruby182-14RC9.exe)

i installed in directory g:\ruby.1.8.2\ruby

on running run.bat i get the following

ruby freeride.rb
Failing to load: rubyide_fox_gui-appframe

[195 more 'failing to load errors deleted for brevity]

Failing to start: rubyide_tools_configurator
Failing to load: RRB
Failing to start: RRB

thinking it might be a path problem i ran with a known path to ruby
(..\bin\ruby freeride.rb)

the following errors

src/emitter.rb:945:in `const_get': uninitialized constant
Scintilla::EmptyStyle (NameError)
        from src/emitter.rb:945:in `read_type_class'
        from src/emitter.rb:944:in `each'

        from src/emitter.rb:1493:in `call'
        from src/emitter.rb:1028:in `transfer_method'

`startup'
        from freeride.rb:80:in `startup'
        from freeride.rb:92


so giving up on the one click installer version of freeride for a bit
i installed freeride from the installer
(freeride-win-installer-0.8.0.exe)

THAT fired up ok :)

but because i don't like white (or any light background) first thing i
do with any editor/ide is change to the colour scheme i'm most used
to...i can change 3 or 4 colours before the 'freeride went south'
window comes up with an unhandled exception...i can do this
consistently...if necessary i can report the output to the bug tracker

and on clicking on Run->debugger the 'freeride went south'   comes up
again: the first line in the window is (it was all on one line): 

No such file or directory - g:\ruby\freeride\freeruby-win\bin\ruby.exe
-C "r:/code/.rb" -r "drb" -r
"G:/ruby.1.8.2/FreeRIDE/plugins/rubyide_tools_debugger/debuggee.rb"
"r:/code/.rb/logr.rb" 

the code i'm editing is in the r:/code/.rb directory
