Subject: Re: REXML bug?

Sorry for late reply.
Here is the result:

$ ruby -rrexml/rexml -ve 'puts REXML::Version'
ruby 1.8.1 (2004-01-01) [i686-linux-gnu]
2.7.3

I think it is a version which is bundled with Ruby1.8.1.

And I download and installed REXML 3.0.4, but I got the
same error at the same position.

$ ruby -rrexml/rexml -ve 'puts REXML::Version'

See the previous mail I send for details of the test script.
