Hello all,  
I noticed IronRuby 1.1.1 has problems in igem where it fails to installs  
gems due to some conversion issue from nil to string. IronRuby 1.0 is  
compatible with Ruby 1.8.x which can run Rails 2.x not Rails 3.0.

I’m interested in learning Rails 3.0 on IronRuby and see how I can  
integrate  
.NET stuff with that.

So, is there any coming patch release or even git code push that solves  
the  
igem issues?

Will be great if I get something to play with in Christmas holidays, but  
this might be very unrealistic anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

I believe I fixed this in main. So if you download the sources and build  
it should work.

Let me know if it works for you. Maybe we should do a 1.1.2 release soon

- it should be pretty easy - it might ease adoption of 1.1.

It doesn’t work for me Tomas. Same “can’t convert” error.

Debugging it I was able to find where the exception occurs - it fails  
for me  
at line 559 in the Runtime.Loader class with the error “no such file to  
load  
– rubygems/defaults/operating\_system”.
