Problem loading rubies

acoffma

recently hp replaced my broken laptop with a new dv9000 with vista. i have a library of all my scripts that i simply copied over and thought would work fine. all the scripts on my office computer are running with XP and i've had no problem. however when i loaded the scripts to my new computer this is what i get everytime i start up sketchup. i even went back and deleted all the rubies and reinstalled them but it doesnt work. even the layer manager loads up and works fine in sketchup so i dont understand where the error is in that either. any suggestions?

Not being an expert but it looks like you need to remove all the scripts named in the errors and then re-download the scripts. The file might have got corrupted through the transfer.

have tried it 5 times but still get the same problem. is there a reason they may not work with vista? my personal laptop has vista premium and my office computer has xp and the joint push pull ruby works fine. not too sure what the problem is but i really need to use this script and the problem is annoying. any suggestions?

Hi,
reading the error, i'd say there is a bug in the menu code:

@unknownuser said:

C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/jointpushpull.rb:2356: syntax error
menu.add_item(Traductor[DLG_MnuRedo) { JointPushPull.redo }

Offending line should be:

menu.add_item(Traductor[DLG_MnuRedo]) { JointPushPull.redo }

Bracket missing after MnuRedo.
Maybe you have a buggy version, because Fredo told me that the version at my site is not the latest. Re-download JPP from SCF, re-install. This could be the solution.

ah you are a life saver thank you very much it works great now. i dont understand how the bracket got deleted though. i used the same zip file that i use on my other computer and that one works fine too.
