[Locomotive-users] where to deposit extension library?

[Ryan Raaum]

Hi Steven,

Unfortunately I haven't found a workaround to successfully compile the
TCLink library in the Locomotive environment... but maybe your alternately
compiled one will work.  You need to copy the 'tclink.bundle' file into:

/Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/rails112.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-
darwin8.6.1/

and _perhaps_ it will work then...

In any case, I'll continue to work on the problems you've identified and try
to come up with a solution...

Best,

-r
