I’ve been trying to run rubyspec (rake test) using the latest revision  
(r142), and besides the ussual failures, I’m getting several message  
boxes  
that pop up with “Assertion failed”, followed by a stack trace.

Is this normal?

kind regards,

Wim

You probably have an older version of rubyspec and ironruby-tags. The  
rakefile asks you to get it from git://github.com/jflam but the latest  
version is in git://github.com/ironruby. I’ve seen the jflam version  
throw asserts with the latest version but the other one shouldn’t. It  
might still fail with an error or two since ironruby-tags hasn’t been  
updated in a while. I’ll do that soon.

Aha, I’ll try it again with these versions, thanks!
