I have installed the script language JRuby, which comes with two executables: A binary jruby, and a shell script jirb (for interactive purpose). I can call jruby, but I get an error message when calling jirb:
~/ruby_test $ ls -l $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb -rwxr-xr-x 1 rfischer mkgroup-l-d 323 Apr 23 23:30 /cygdrive/h/jruby-0.9.9/bin/jirb ~/ruby_test $ !$ $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb Error opening script file: \cygdrive\h\jruby-0.9.9\bin\jirb (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden) ~/ruby_test $ head -n 1 !$ head -n 1 $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb #!/usr/bin/env jruby From this dialogue, you can see that jirb has the correct x-permissions, but still the script file can't be opened. My guess is that bash can't load the correct interpreter file, so that's why I also have listed above the first line of the jirb script - but it seems that this is looking fine. Any ideas what is going wrong? (BTW, the German language error message above translates to: "The system can't find the specified path". If someone happens to know how to convince Cygwin to use English error messages only, please let me know too (I thought this would depend on the settings of the LANG environment variable, but setting it to "en" doesn't seem to have any effect.)
