v1.0.4 doesn't work w/ Ruby 1.8.2 [ reply ]  
2006-04-12 03:17
I have three Ruby installations. One on Debian GNU/Linux (Ruby 1.8.2), one on Windows 2000 (Ruby 1.8.4) and one on Windows XP (was Ruby 1.8.2; upgraded to 1.8.4). On all three systems I have installed the RubyfulSoup gem and its dependency htmltools.

When I require 'rubyful_soup' on the 1.8.2 installations they report "in `require': No such file to load -- rubyful_soup (LoadError)". I get no error under 1.8.4.

So, why not upgrade the Debian system to 1.8.4 and stop complaining. I would, but it's the stable release (sarge), 1.8.2 is the stable Ruby package, and I don't want to mess around rebuilding my Ruby world outside the apt system.

My question is, then, can I smarten up 1.8.2 to find rubyful_soup?
