Installation Problem

It's been a while since I tried an executable installer so I'm not
sure about your specific problem.&nbsp; It looks like you've got a space in
your path, which can cause problems in some scripts.&nbsp; As with all
things Ruby, it tends to be easier to go the "Ruby Way" and use the
gem installer.  ;Figuring out the Ruby Way is the hard part : )

If you open your command prompt and type:
gem install watir

That should install Watir 1.4.1 as a Ruby gem, which will probably
take care of the issue.&nbsp; You'll then be able to find the Watir install
and unit tests under ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir . . . &nbsp;where
the first "ruby" is your root ruby install directory.

If that command (gem) is not a recognized command, then you do indeed
have a path issue, and you might want to try reinstalling ruby under
the C: directory, or following a howto on adding a directory to your
PATH like http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm. ; Just add
your ruby/ directory to the path and you should be all set.

I just installed Ruby 1.8.5 on my system, and then, with much effort,
managed to get the watir-1.4.1.exe installed (it has a major install bug
that I was able to circumvent).

So after all that, I open a command prompt into the installation
location, and run all_tests.rb as instructed, and I get the errors below:


C:Program FilesWatirunittests&gt;all_tests.rb
C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4:in `require&#39;:
no such f
ile to load -- watir (LoadError)
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/../unittests/setup.rb:4
 &nbsp; &nbsp;   ;  from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4:in 'require'
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; from C:/Program Files/Watir/unittests/all_tests.rb:4



It looks like it might be a simple pathing issue, but I'm not sure. ; I
do have the path setup so that I can run regular ruby, but I haven't
tried to add anything for watir yet; I thought I would ask here first.

I don't remember having this problem about eight months ago when I first
tried Watir, but that was on another computer.

Any help would be appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks!
