Since no one seemed to have any ideas on how to fix this for Windows
(searching, I did find some suggestions for Unix type systems), I decided I
would have to bite the bullit and try different versions of Ruby and Watir.
I blindly installed a new version of Ruby and a new version of Watir. I do not
like to do this because past experience has taught me that I would be trading
one set of problems for another. I am happy to report that does not seem to be
the case this time. So far, all my scripts are working without a problem.
I installed:
Ruby 1.8.6-25
Watir 1.5.1.1192
Note that I did not install or update rubygems.
I then installed other gems I needed including "ci_reporter" and "builder".

Subject: [Wtr-general] gem error installing 'builder'
I am resending this because I have not seen it show up in email distribution.
I sent it earlier in the day than the one titled "ie.maximize does not always
work". I did more research after I sent the following message. Most of the
solutions seemed to be for unix based systems. The best one I found for
windows appeared to involve completely uninstalling gem 0.9.3 and installing
gem 0.9.2.
The original message I sent follows below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am getting the following error when I try to install 'builder'. Any
suggestions?
D:\InstalledFiles\builder_2_1_1>gem install builder -l -y
D:\InstalledFiles\builder_2_1_1>"D:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "D:\ruby\bin\gem"
install builder -
l -y
ERROR: Error installing gem builder[.gem]: install directory
#<Pathname:D:/ruby/lib/ruby/
gems/1.8/gems/builder-2.1.1> not absolute
Obviously the error about the pathname not being absolute is incorrect.
I am running Ruby 1.8.2-15
Watir 1.5-1145 as a gem
gem 0.9.3
I am trying to set things up so I can get reports with ci_reporter and
running specific versions of Ruby and Watir to avoid certain bugs.
