Subject: Re: db2_connect on ruby 1.8.5 rubygems 1.3.5

I know it would be best to upgrade to latest version of Ruby, but since the scripts is planed to be running on multiple server it would be easier to go get it working with the current version of Ruby.

I tried installing an older version of ibm_db but it keeps trying to install multi_json for dependency, is there a way to give a no dependency for gem install? Since multi_json requires Rubygems 1.3.6 and ruby 1.8.5 is only working with Rubygems 1.3.5 I can't install it.

From where is the dependency defined? Both my version of Rubygems and ibm_db are older than the oldest version of multi_json, so Im a bit mystified on where the the dependency is coming from?
