Hello all, i have been using Shoes in windows from couple of months and it was working awesome, but now i am having Ubuntu set up on my machine and i am trying to run shoes in it but it seems like URL is not working .... i.e nothing happens when i click on it. Have anybody observed this problem. Any help on this? thanks Pradyumna
A:
Looking at the source code, this would seem to to be the relevant bit:
shoes_browser_open(char *url)
{
VALUE browser = rb_str_new2("/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser '");
rb_str_cat2(browser, url);
rb_str_cat2(browser, "' 2>/dev/null &");
shoes_sys(RSTRING_PTR(browser), 1);
}
Not overly familiar with Ubuntu, but perhaps in your installation /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser isn't pointing to the right place? Either that, or Shoes shouldn't be using this path?

Sorry, I've just read your comment under your question. I thought your problem was with something like `para link("Link", :click => "http://www.url.com")` not opening a web browser. But it is actually with internal links, such as the class-book.rb sample.
