Hi ---

what platform are you on ?
I tried the code you posted and it works fine on my Ubuntu box.
That said, I came across some quite mysterious errors on previous installs of various gems, sent some
mails to this and other lists, where the authors said, "I've just tried the software on a fresh
install of Ubuntu, and it works."
Then I freshly installed Ubuntu, and it worked..... never found out what the error was ..
presumably some path issue with ruby installed in multiple ways ...

Just guessing ...

Best regards,

Axel
