Subject: Google API, Soap and windows XP

Hello,I am playing with the google api and soap. I have the newest versionof soap and i think ruby 1.8. I created my code on a laptop withmandrake 10.2 with the same version of ruby and soap. On my laptop itworks fine. On my windows computer it give me an error."F:\Documents and Settings\iv\Desktop\googlerip>ruby  googled.rbmonkey filetype:pdfLoading compatibility library...c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/datatypes.rb:172:in `_set': {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string: cannot accept '<b>...</b> Tibetan year of the <b>monkey</b>.

(XSD::ValueSpaceError)        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/datatypes.rb:114:in `set'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/encodingstyle/soapHandler.rb:453:in `decode_textbuf'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/encodingstyle/soapHandler.rb:214:in `decode_tag_end'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/parser.rb:185:in `decode_tag_end'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/parser.rb:146:in `end_element'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/xmlparser/parser.rb:75:in `end_element'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/xmlparser/xmlparser.rb:36:in `do_parse'        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/xmlparser/xmlparser.rb:31:in `parse'         ... 7 levels...        from (eval):2:in `doGoogleSearch'        from googled.rb:16        from googled.rb:15:in `each'        from googled.rb:15"
I am working off an example i found on the internet. Here is my code:   require "soap/driver"   ENDPOINT = 'http://api.google.com/search/beta2'   NS = 'urn:GoogleSearch'   KEY = "Enter_your_Key"
   fail "Missing query args" if ARGV.empty?
   query = ARGV.join(" ")
   soap = SOAP::Driver.new(nil, nil, NS, ENDPOINT)   soap.addMethodWithSOAPAction(       'doGoogleSearch', NS, 'key', 'q', 'start', 'maxResults', 'filter',       'restrict', 'safeSearch', 'lr', 'ie', 'oe')   i=0for i in 0..90   res = soap.doGoogleSearch(          KEY, query, i, 10, false, nil, false, nil, 'latin1', 'latin1')	     puts "Estimated result count: " + res.estimatedTotalResultsCount	puts "Searched in:" + res.searchTime + " seconds"	puts "Index start:" + res.startIndex	puts "Index End:" + res.endIndex   res.resultElements.each do |entry|     puts      puts entry.URL     puts      filename=entry.URL.gsub("//", '').gsub("~", '').gsub("/", '')     if(!(FileTest.exist?(filename))) then   	  aFile = File.new(filename, "w+")   	  aFile.puts Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse(entry.URL))    	  puts entry.snippet     end  end    i=i+9end

Am i missing something on my windows computer?  Becker
