Ruby modules needed for rbot
============================
Core requirements
tokyocabinet for "tc" DB adaptor
http://1978th.net/tokyocabinet/
you can install Ruby bindings via "gem install tokyocabinet",
but this still requires libtokyocabinet to be installed system-wide
bdb (berkeley db) for "bdb" DB adaptor or converting from it
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/bdb/
(which requires libdb4.x or better, formerly from
www.sleepycat.com, now at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/index.html)
Most of the time you don't need to compile anything.
If you're running Linux, your distribution should
have a libdb-ruby packaged (or similar).
For Windows instructions, check at the bottom
of this file.
iconv this is needed by the httputil object and by the IRC engine
to ensure consistent encoding across the bot
net/http 1.2+
net/https (for debian, this will also need libopenssl-ruby)
socket
uri
Useful but fallback provided
ruby-gettext 1.8.0+ http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext.html?ruby-gettext
optional; if installed rbot can use localized messages
htmlentities http://htmlentities.rubyforge.org/
optional; if installed rbot will use it to decode
HTML entities; if missing, an internal table with
the most common HTML entities will be used instead
hpricot http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/
optional, if installed rbot will used it to find
the first paragraph in HTML files; if missing,
regular expressions will be used instead
Plugin requirements
(these are all optional, if you don't have them, the plugins just won't
function)
twitter:
oauth, oauth2, json (<ruby1.9)
bash, digg, slashdot, freshmeat, forecast:
REXML
rss:
rss
shortenurls:
shorturl
time:
tzinfo
translator:
mechanize
External programs needed for rbot
=================================
Plugin requirements
(These are all optional)
cal plugin:
cal(1)
figlet plugin:
figlet(6)
fortune plugin:
fortune(6)
host plugin:
host(1)
spell plugin:
ispell(1)
Running rbot on win32
=====================
You can install Ruby using the One-Click Ruby installer, available from
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/
You can find a precompiled version of the bdb package for ruby here
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/bdb-0.5.1-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz
When you unpack the archive (e.g. using WinZip or 7-Zip or any other tool
of your choice) you'll notice that it contains the following directory structure:
usr
+---local
+---doc
+---lib
and you have to move the doc and lib folders (and all their contents) in the folder
where you installed Ruby (typically C:\Ruby\)
