I just tried to use hoe for the first time. Or, rather, sow. Running  
sow gave me this:

/usr/bin/env: ruby -ws: No such file or directory

Modifying /usr/bin/sow to change the shebang line to:

/usr/bin/ruby -ws

allowed it to work fine.

As I’ve said before, this is a TERRIBLE forum to report problems like  
this. PLEASE file a bug on rubyforge.
