Hello,

Is there a 1.9 compatible version of rubygems somewhere? Each I try to  
install  
it under 1.9 (I use svn’s trunk), it barfs with the following:

I can get around this by using “=\>” instead of “,”, I can work around  
#funcall  
being replaced back by #send but then it gets more difficult.

The tracker has such a bug marked as fixed.

Use trunk.

Beta coming soon (this week or next).
