      I just happily installed SketchUp on my Linux machine using Wine. Freedom from Windows is getting closer... But when I start SketchUp I get an error saying:

      Error on loading the file dynamiccomponents.rb
      private method `gsub!' called for nil:NilClass

      I can click OK and use the program, but of course I am not sure if everything will run smoothly now. Does anyone know what this error means, how I can fix it, and what the consequence is of running SketchUp despite of this error?

      Thx!

        Well, dynamic components are a new thing in SU 7 but SU will otherwise run without them. You can make sure they are disabled in Preferences > Extensions and the error won't pop up again.

        As for how you could fix this to be able to work with DC's, I have no clue.

        Gai...
