Oniguruma in 1.8.x?

Ruby
1

I seem to recall reading that Oniguruma had been backported to CRuby
1.8.x, but that doesn’t seem to be the case as of 1.8.6 (it doesn’t
recognize named groups.) Is it somehow available in CRuby, or was I
just plain mistaken?

Thanks,
Ken

You must manually install oniguruma and then install the oniguruma gem
for Ruby 1.8.6

Or use Rubinius or JRuby, which include Oniguruma out of the box (in
JRuby it’s JOni, the Java port by Marcin Mielzynski).
