Subject: Re: Ruby - gems not

Thank you very much lasitha:
sorry i was not so clear
my windows version is vista, ruby version:1.8.6 ,  gems version: 1.3.2
The error is, after installing few files it says
>> ERROR: While generating documentaion builder - 2.1.2
>> MESSAGE : Unhandled special :Specoa;: type=17, test="<!--HI -->"
>> [...]

I ignored this actually in the intial stages.but later when i am trying 
to type in
ie=Watir::IE.new  to intialize internet explorer for google search test 
case, it was saying IE not found in the library. So i went to the gems 
folder and opened each folder only to see that they dont have anyfiles 
in it..I felt this error may be the reason that the irb is not 
recognizing IE.It is giving the error
NameError:undefined local variable or method'watir' for main:Object from 
<irb>:02

Later i went to the SCite and typed in the whole test case to open the 
IE and search for pickaxe, it is not throwing out any errors and shows 
Exit code:0 but it doesnt open Internet explorer or is doing nothing.


when i click
