Thanks for the feedback!

The lines in question were:

  command_to_execute='ruby '+@rubyLocation.text+'/bin/exerb -V'
  begin
   f = IO.popen(command_to_execute)
  rescue
  end
  begin
   @exerb_version=f.readlines.join()
  rescue
   @exerb_version="Nothing 0.0.0"
  end
  @exerb_major_version=@exerb_version.split(" ")[1].split(".")[0] # Line
97 - where the error occured

The purpose of that method is to see if exerb is installed... maybe there's
a better way, but for now I've changed those lines by adding a new one:

  command_to_execute='ruby '+@rubyLocation.text+'/bin/exerb -V'
  begin
   f = IO.popen(command_to_execute)
  rescue
  end
  @exerb_version="Nothing 0.0.0"    # The new line
  begin
   @exerb_version=f.readlines.join()
  rescue
   @exerb_version="Nothing 0.0.0"
  end
  @exerb_major_version=@exerb_version.split(" ")[1].split(".")[0]

I've compiled and uploaded the additions - would you mind testing it again?
