Hello, Since I could not find the “1-click” package for 1.8.7, I downloaded its binary. I proceeded to remove 1.8.6 and extracted 1.8.7 in its place. So I have a dir strcuture of: c:\ruby C:\>cd ruby C:\ruby\>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 289C-FD52 Directory of C:\ruby 08/05/2008 08:53 AM . 08/05/2008 08:53 AM … 08/05/2008 08:52 AM bin 08/05/2008 08:52 AM doc 08/05/2008 08:52 AM lib 08/05/2008 08:53 AM man 06/02/2008 01:58 AM 649,528 MANIFEST 06/02/2008 01:51 AM 1,282 README.1st 08/05/2008 08:29 AM Ruby-1.8.6 and much more \*(I actually moved 1.8.6 to this dir) \*08/05/2008 08:53 AM share 2 File(s) 650,810 bytes 9 Dir(s) 115,489,136,640 bytes free C:\ruby\> _ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]_ However when I try to test it by invoking the simplest pgm of all, I get the following error: _ruby qt.rb ruby: no such file to load – ubygems (LoadError)_ _cat qt.rb puts “Hello World!”_ Could anyone tell me what I did wrong here? BTW, I am trying 1.8.7 because I wanted to use the _delete_ method: \* a.delete(“value”)\* and it looks like this is not found on 1.8.6. Thank you Victor ---

(download the tarball/zip, unpack, start setup.rb – but check the docs) or unset %RUBYOPT% (set RUBYOPT=) Jano
