Well, you could try to find the 2nd Edition of the PickAxe, or upgrade your Ruby. To do that, you'll have to ask Google, since I have no idea what the recommended way would be (I guess rvm or Homebrew). As far as TextMAte is concerned: I have no idea if it'll work with Ruby 1.9, too. -- Phillip Gawlowski Though the folk I have met, (Ah, how soon!) they forget When I've moved on to some other place, There may be one or two, When I've played and passed through, Who'll remember my song or my face.
