Sorry for your inconvenience.  Soap4r and required libraries
will be bundled in the next release of Ruby/1.8.

Yes.

Hmm.  Loading "XMLParser" library which is included in the PragProg
installer seems to be failed.

I downloaded and installed ruby180-10.exe from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=67007
It seems to work for me.

  C:\ruby\bin>ruby -rxmlparser -e 'p XML::Parser.new'
  #<XMLParser:0x2847d68>

I've no idea now.  Is there anyone who met the error?

By the way,

From soap4r/1.5.0, require 'soap/rpc/driver' instead of
'soap/driver'.  Warning about loading compatibility library shoud
not be dumped then.
