adding a ruby library built using swig

Hello!

I have wrapped a c library I have made into ruby using swig now I want to use it in a rails project

I have already tested my library with a ruby script and it worked well

I added the path to the swig generated library in my script and it recognized my library

but when I tired to call my library in my rails project, it did not recognize any of the generated files even when I added their path (using "$: << “path/to/swig/library”)

have anyone an Idea on how to do that

thank you

So what happens when you require your library ?

Hello!

It is all clear now

I have put the .so file generated by swig in the “#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib” directory, now it recognizes it and every thing works fine

thank you
