I think that what Luis was trying to say is that Ruby 1.9 is not
backwards-compatible with Ruby 1.8, and for that reason a number of
gems that work with Ruby 1.8 don't yet work with Ruby 1.9. As far as I
know, the best resource for checking this out (other than your own
experimentation) is the web site:

    http://isitruby19.com/

If a particular gem that you need isn't working under Ruby 1.9 yet,
you might try contacting the developer(s) for that gem to see what's
up.

Hope this helps,

Lyle
