Installing watir in this way is not a 2 step install, but a one step install with an added requirement. Users are already required to run Windows, and to have ruby installed. This would just require they upgrade to a newer version of RubyGems. I agree this isn't the most optimal solution, but it's what is available right now. When the next version of the One Click installer ships, it will ship with the latest production version of RubyGems, and you'll be back to the 2 original requirements. > > Another option would be for us to move to Ruby 1.8.7. which surely has > other benefits as well. I would recommend against that at this point. From what I've read, Ruby 1.8.7 is not completely backward compatible, and code will break. Also, I'd be interested to hear what sort of bugs you're encountering in 1.8.6. Send an email to the rubyinstaller (One Click Installer project for Windows) mailing list. http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=167 Thanks, Gordon _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
