You can't post the XPath, and some dummy XML fragment/doc?

Cost me 10 minuts as well.

Install RUNit, check
http://www.eng.dmu.ac.uk/~hgs/ruby/ruby-unit.html ,

, then use this as skeleton:

---

require 'runit/testcase'
require 'runit/cui/testrunner'
require 'runit/testsuite'

$:.unshift "rexml/2.0/"
require 'rexml/document'
include REXML

class REXML_tests < RUNIT::TestCase

XML_STRING_01 = <<DELIMITER
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<biblio>
   <entry type="Book">
     <author>Thomas, David; Hunt, Andrew</author>
     <language>english</language>
     <publisher>Addison-Wesley</publisher>
     <title>Programming Ruby. The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide</title>
     <year>2000</year>

   #this first test succeeds, to check if stuff is set up correctly
   def test_xpath_01
     doc = Document.new XML_STRING_01.dup
     desired_result = Document.new '<author>Thomas, David; Hunt, 
Andrew</author>'
     xpath = '//author'
     result = XPath.first(doc, xpath)
     assert_equal desired_result.to_s, result.to_s
   end

end

puts 'Ruby '+RUBY_VERSION+', REXML '+Version+'

RUNIT::CUI::TestRunner.run(REXML_tests.suite)

simply run this file.
