So I tried out the 1.1.1 release and am having a bit of issues.

First the installer doesn’t seem to care about the location I pick and  
installs to program files (x86) regardless. I end up moving the files  
and  
redoing the paths but visual studio still expects the files to be in  
program  
files.

Second, I can’t get rspec to work for the life of me. I am just doing–

igem install rspec

then in IR, I’m trying to test out mocking with:

require ‘spec’ && require ‘spec/mocks’

both of which say they cannot be found. If I require ‘rubygems’  
‘spec/mocks’ is found (but doesn’t seem to work as I cannot stub  
anything)  
but ‘spec’ is not.

Any thoughts on what I can do to salvage this?

you always need to require ‘rubygems’ before requiring spec and friends,  
even in MRI.

Are you doing that?
