 Failure to load required rubycdapi26.so file |

When I attempt to run the anglepie.rb file or any other in this new setup, I get the following error.

I found information in other forum areas that I needed to be using 32 bit Ruby, so I uninstalled the 64 bit version, cleared out all of its files and installed 2.6.8 version x86 (32 bit) and got a simpler, but similar error message regarding not being able to load the file.

Hi David,
The error message "cannot load such file -- chartdirector (LoadError)" usually means that the ruby cannot find the "chartdirector.rb" file.
When you execute the "ruby install.rb" that comes with ChartDirector, it should copy the "chartdirector.rb" and all the ChartDirector shared objects/DLL to a folder in the ruby search path. The ruby should then be able to find the "chartdirector.rb". Have you run the "ruby install.rb" using the 32-bit ruby?
The actual chartdirector.rb and the *.so and *.dll files are in "ChartDirectorrailsdemovendor" of the download. May be you can try to copy the *.rb, *.so and *.dll in that folder to the current directory (eg. the "rubydemo" directory), and then use:
ruby -I. anglepie.rb
If this works, then it is an installation issue. May be the "install.rb" is unable to determine the correct folder to copy the files to so that they can be located by the ruby. May be the "install.rb" is confused which folder to use when there are multiple ruby installations in the machine.

Thank you. That was the issue. I had been installing and uninstalling Ruby versions trying to get things working, and forgot to reinstall ChartDirector. I have it working now.
Thanks for your help. |

Sorry, a new variation on the same issue:
I have the path proper, I can run irb from either the source or the destination locations where the files are and still get an error that it cannot find the file.

Hi David,
ChartDirector for Ruby supports up to Ruby 2.6. You seem to be using Ruby 2.7. It is unlikely to work.
I have just tried to use irb in Ruby 2.6, and it works normally in my machine.
The error "The specified module could not be found" does not necessarily mean that it cannot find the "rubycdapi26.so". It just means it cannot find a module when trying to load "rubycdapi26.so". The module that it fails to find is probably is the MSVCRT-RUBY260.DLL, which is part of Ruby 2.6 and does not exist in Ruby 2.7.
Regards

Peter,
You are the MAN! I was wasting my time trying to get the so file to load.
I just uninstalled 2.7 and reinstalled 2.6 with all the dev materials and the files are there.
ChartDirector works now.
Thank you!
