I had the same problem, on Mac OS X with Pd-extended 0.41.4 I ran some tests and it seems that relative paths in [shell] just don't work like they do with the rest of pd. For example, if you have a pd patch in the same folder as ruby_script.rb, you can't run it simply by using a "ruby ruby_script.rb" message, you have to do "ruby /full/path/to/ruby_script.rb" (as opposed to, say, media files or abstractions in the same folder as your patch).
Both [motex/system] and [ggee/shell] work on my macbook. (thanks for the list, Hans. I didn't know there were two [popen] objects) Ben Baker-Smith -- http://bitsynthesis.com > There are four options to try, let us know which works best for you: > > flatspace/popen > moonlib/popen > motex/system > ggee/shell > > .hc > > On Jun 28, 2010, at 6:55 PM, Jon wrote: > > > hi > > i'm trying to execute a ruby script from the shell object by sending > > it the message "ruby /path/to/script.rb arguments" but i get nothing. > > the script works fine from the command line, with the exact same > > arguments. is there an alternative? > > i'm on osx, latest stable pd extended > > thank you > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
