Subject: [ruby-talk:02038] Load error message



I just ran across this error:

# ruby -I/driver/tests/tools/src gtkbrows.rb
./rbbr_gtk.rb:2:in `require': load failed -
/driver/tests/tools/lib/ruby/1.4/rs6000-aix4.3.2.0/gtk.so (LoadError)
        from ./rbbr_gtk.rb:2
        from gtkbrows.rb:1:in `require'
        from gtkbrows.rb:1

I initially thought that there was some other sort of problem because of
this error message, which was initially also somewhat perplexing because
.../gtk.so existed and I didn't realize that I had used the wrong path for
-I.

I think that an error message that said something like "Could not find
(script or module) file 'gtk' in the load path (...)", with "..." being the
equivalent of:

    ruby -e '$, = ":"; print $:'

would be much more helpful, if this can be done relatively easily.
