Subject: Re: New "Ruby for Windows" Installer

Hi Lothar,

On a clean Vista system, I installed ArachnoRuby 0.6.9 and your Ruby
for Windows installer.  I'm seeing similar problems to what David Kemp
reported:

In the ArachnoRuby Ruby Gems Browser I click the "Update remote gems
list" icon, and I get the following error.

Retrieve remote gem list
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
  undefined method '[]=' for #<Gem::ConfigFile:0x3a94734>

Investigating this, I tried just executing "gem" from a command
prompt, and I get

C:\>gem
ruby: No such file or directory -- y:/work_generated/windows_ix86/ruby_installer
/huge/install/bin/gem (LoadError)

I notice that the file c:\ruby\bin\gem.cmd contains:

@"ruby" "y:/work_generated/windows_ix86/ruby_installer/huge/install/bin/gem"
%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

which is odd, as this system doesn't have a y: drive

If I just do
C:\>ruby

it seems to hang forever.  If I enter control-C I get:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb: Interrupt

Thanks,

Wayne
