Subject: Re: problem with btpgsql

I installed the arrayfields, but not resolv the problem.

btpgsql-0.2.4# ruby install.rb
install.rb:14:in `=~': type mismatch: String given (TypeError)
        from install.rb:14

I remove the lines below from the install.rb and I think that it works.

if !$site_libdir
  $site_libdir = File.join($libdir, "site_ruby")
elsif $site_libdir !~ Regexp.quote($version)
  $site_libdir = File.join($site_libdir, $version)
end

After I run

btpgsql-0.2.4# ruby install.rb
lib/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb -> /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb
chmod 0644 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb
lib/btpgsql/arrayfields.rb ->
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/arrayfields.rb
chmod 0644 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/arrayfields.rb
lib/btpgsql/quote.rb -> /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/quote.rb
chmod 0644 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/quote.rb
lib/btpgsql/VERSION -> /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/VERSION
chmod 0644 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/VERSION
lib/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb.orig ->
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb.orig
chmod 0644 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/btpgsql/btpgsql.rb.orig

I hope it had worked.

Tanks for the help, and sorry about my English.
