Good.

This kind of installation problem can happen when ruby/1.8.2 (and 
WindowsInstaller of it) released.  Check lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8 dir 
synchronized with lib/ruby/1.8 dir.  (For safe upgrade, remove site_ruby 
dir before installing new ruby).

You can create client driver files here as follows;

% wsdl2ruby.rb --wsdl 
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl --type 
client --force

definition.

See the file "ndfdXMLClient.rb" generated and just modify it as follows.


#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'defaultDriver.rb'
endpoint_url = ARGV.shift
obj = NdfdXMLPortType.new(endpoint_url)

t = Time.now
startTime = Time.local(t.year,t.mon, t.day) + (24 *3600)
endTime = startTime + 7 * 24 *3600
latitude = 39.0
longitude = -77.0
product = ProductType::TimeSeries
weatherParameters = WeatherParametersType.new(nil, nil, true, true, 
nil,nil,nil,nil,nil,nil,nil,nil,nil)

puts obj.nDFDgen(latitude, longitude, product, startTime, endTime, 
weatherParameters)


This must work as your sample.  This sample does not retrieve and parse 
the WSDL file at runtime so it's faster than wsdlDriver.rb.  But 
retrieving WSDL each time can easily follows server endpoint change. 
 Just an option.
