Currently, no. I’ll support 1.9 next release. ---

This doesn’t install for me, at least on Windows. ERROR: While executing gem … (Errno::EINVAL) Invalid argument - c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/erubis-2.6.1/lib/erubis/co nverter.rb: There’s this (bogus?) file called “converter.rb:” (colon at the end) that ruins everything prematurely. It’s a 0-byte file and I believe it’s unneeded and doesn’t belong. This is causing me a lot more grief than expected. A lot of other gems I am trying to install (merb, for example) depend on erubis and despite the fact that I have erubis 2.6.0 installed, every gem keeps keeps trying to install 2.6.1. If I --ignore-dependencies that causes crucial parts of the gem(s) to not get installed. I tried fixing it myself by removing convert.rb: but for some reason that ruins the gem and then I can’t install it at all. Any help would be appreciated. (Is there a way to install a gem while ignoring only a specific dependency?) ---

It doesn’t get created for me either. It’s a file within the gem. If you download the gem file from the website, rename it .zip and crawl through it as an archive you’ll find converter.rb: within the gem itself. I think the colon at the end prevents it from being copied when you try to install. At least on Windows, you can’t have colons in filenames, which is maybe why the gem can’t be installed.

Hello, I’m receiving this exact same error on Windows, except there is no “converter.rb:” (with the colon) being created in my case. Regards, Mike Hodgson ---

Same problem here, but you can install it if you download the .tar.bz2 from RubyForge and package it yourself. [http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/37947/erubis-2.6.1.tar.bz2](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/37947/erubis-2.6.1.tar.bz2) Just extract it somewhere, then change into the directory and do the following: gem build erubis.gemspec gem install --local erubis-2.6.1.gem ---

Yeah I was JUST about to post that here. I didn’t realize I could do that until a few minutes ago. Got it installed now. ---

I have released Erubis 2.6.2 which fixed the above problem. (And Erubis now supports Ruby 1.9.) Thank you for our report.
