Hi Sam, This is unfortunate but it would probably work both ways. That is, if I build it for 1.8.4 it won't work with 1.8.5. How many people are still using Ruby 1.8.4 and are having the same problem? If there are enough of you I could build another gem specifically for ruby 1.8.4. Actually, Sam, if you really need me to I could build a special gem for you. Let me know.
