Subject: Problems with Soap4R 1.5.0 and Ruby 1.8

I just downloaded and installed Soap4R on top of my Pragmatic Ruby 1.8.0 
on Win2k. After installing the requirements that I didn't have, such as 
devel-logger and http-client2, I got the error at the bottom of this 
email when trying to require 'soap/driver'. This is occurring when 
Soap4R tries to discover which XML parser is available, and since 1.8.0 
includes rexml, it should find that. But it dies when trying to load 
xmlparser.so, which I assume is the library for one of the other 
XMLParsers. Changing the order of loading in xsd/xmlparser.rb to try 
rexml first got it working for me, but I don't know what the longterm 
solution is. Here's what I changed:

loaded = false
[
  'xsd/xmlparser/rexmlparser',         # I moved this one to the top
  'xsd/xmlparser/xmlscanner',
  'xsd/xmlparser/xmlparser',
].each do |lib|

Here's the error:
