Thank you, it's almost working. I am making use of projects, products,
environments and components.
My \usemodule[ruby] sits in my environment file, but I'm using the \ruby
command down in the component file. The environment is only called in
the project file, but the component links back to the product (with
\product - I guess that's how you do it?) and the product back to the
project. The error occurs, no matter at which level
(project/product/component) I am compiling. Do I really need to call the
module in each component? I thought the component should trace back to
the higher levels to find which modules to load...

Many thanks for your quick answers,
Severin
