Thanks, James.

The one-click installer includes a number of Ruby extensions (in
addition to Ruby 1.8.4, itself). All of these have to be updated to
the latest versions, compiled, installed, and tested (some of these I
am not familiar with so I need to ave others test them for me).

All this takes time (and I still have a day job, too).

Thanks for your patience,
Curt
