Subject: Re: Ruby under Suse Linux

Now I'm really confused.  I thought, "what's a standard-ish sort of core class 
that should work?"  Looked in the first directory of the load path and found 
Matrix - I assume that's part of core 1.8?  That fails as well.  String is 
OK, but that's built-in.  

So, my problem is that no classes other than built-in classes are working.  
Hm.

RUBY> ruby -ve 'p $LOAD_PATH'
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-linux]
["/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/
i686-linux", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8", "/
usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux", "."]

RUBY> ruby -rhtml-parser -e 'class MyHTMLParser < HTMLParser; end; p 
MyHTMLParser'
-e:1: undefined superclass `HTMLParser' (TypeError)

RUBY> ruby -rhtml-parser -e 'class MyHTMLParser < Matrix; end; p MyHTMLParser'
-e:1: undefined superclass `Matrix' (TypeError)

RUBY> ruby -rhtml-parser -e 'class MyHTMLParser < String; end; p MyHTMLParser'
MyHTMLParser
