I have went on changing the relative paths with absolute paths until the "openssl.so" (which can't be modified by text editing of course) gives the error: "Verify that ruby can access the OpenSSL libraries".

Can't really go on now.

I have followed the flow of the code:

1) wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/.../SketchUp/Plugins/OpenStudio/Startup.rb require 'OpenStudio/OpenStudio-config.rb'

2) wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/.../SketchUp/Plugins/OpenStudio/OpenStudio-config.rb require 'C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenStudio 1.5.0\Ruby\openstudio.rb'

3) C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenStudio 1.5.0\Ruby\openstudio.rb at the beginning of this file the following command won't work: require "pathname"

Stuck here.

Thanks, Probably it's "just" a matter of windows-style paths, different from wine-style paths, but indeed it's a huge work since there are a lot of rb scripts in this plugin.. I'll try and check whether it's reasonable to change them all (and the result is not guaranteed...).

2014-11-01 08:28:12 -0500 asked a question OpenStudio and SketchUp Plugin + Linux (Wine)

Hello, I am trying to make the OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin work under Linux (Xubuntu) with Wine. I have installed SketchUp Make 2014 for Windows with Wine (in Xubuntu) and with some tricks found on WineHQ about it I made SketchUp work. After that, I have installed the OpenStudio Suite for Windows, again with Wine, but I can't see any Plugin in SketchUp. In the OpenStudio/Ruby directory (Wine under Linux, again) there is a folder which contains the SketchUp plugin ruby files, which are supposed to work fine in a "pure Windows" OS, but here with Wine the plugin cannot be loaded. In fact I get the error "Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in: cannot load such file -- pathname", which in the end derives from the file "Startup.rb" in the last lines:

UI.messagebox("Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-In:\n  #{e.message}", MB_OK)

The point is: does anybody get this plugin for SketchUp work with Linux (Wine)? Thank you!
