Subject: [ruby-talk:14740] have I messed up my setup, or are these real irb problems?


I have some pretty strange Ruby installation directories, so it's very
possible that I've messed something up. However, with both the latest
1.6 and 1.7 cvs versions, I get the following two problems:

     dave[ruby 10:50:41] irb --tracer
     irb(main):001:0> def fred
     irb(main):002:1> 1
     irb(main):003:1> end
     /tc/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irb.rb:233: ArgumentError

and

     dave[ruby/ruby1.7 10:51:25] irb
     irb(main):001:0> def fred
     irb(main):002:1> 1
     irb(main):003:1> end
     nil
     irb(main):004:0> fred
     NameError: undefined local variable or method `fred' for #<Object:0x4019ac90>
             from (irb):4
     irb(main):005:0>

Have I messed up my Ruby tree, or do other people see this too?


Thanks


Dave
