Divide by Zero in RDE

[sorry if this is off-topic]

Hi,

I’ve just started to try out Ruby. I downloaded the latest stable release
and also downloaded and installed Ruby Development Environment (RDE) 0.990 +
patched it to 0.991(?). Running all that stuff under WinXP Pro SP1 (eng).

I’m starting out by some test-driven development using RubyUnit, but I
always get ‘Divide By Zero’ when the scripts complete. And, after a while
I start getting ‘Other Exception’.

It seems to be related to the output window. Occasionally (but only after
running a script and getting that initial Divide By Zero exception) I get
loads of those messages, seemingly related to paint events (after being
obscured by another window). If I then close the output window they don’t
appear no more.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any fix?

You mentioned a patch for another version. I have once upgraded RDE to a
newer version and have not changed the path name. Then I experienced some
strange, seemingly random problems. A change in the path configuration
repaired it. Unfortunately I do not remember this exactly and I do not use
RDE any more.

Regards,

Dalibor
