Please help -- is win32ole still part of the ruby distribution?

//In ruby-win32 distribution page
//(http://www.dm4lab.to/~usa/ruby/) by //U.Nakamura, win32ole.so
//was broken in a ruby win32 binary distributed by him at some
//point. Maybe your unstable win32ole is the one distributed at
//that time? He saids that the currreny
//win32ole binary has been fixed.

Thanks Takashi, do you know which distribution actually has the new
binary? Aren’t these reflected in the sourceforge binaries? I did go
here:
http://www.dm4lab.to/~usa/ruby/index_en.html
But I don’t know what to download.

You are right,when I was facing the problem with the libraries I had
mailed the person who was building the library. A little after that I
saw that message on sourceforge and found the library not working, so it
seemed to me that it had been removed. I did not know that the issue had
been the fixed.

Pointing us at the download would be helpful.

Hi,

In the web site, usa saids,

New binaries ‘ruby-1.8.1-20040402’ and ‘ruby-1.9.0-20040402’.
The files of ‘20040331’ contained broken win32ole.so. Please download newer
versions.

So, snapshot ‘ruby-1.8.1-20040402’ or ‘ruby-1.9.0-20040402’ on
http://www.dm4lab.to/~usa/ruby/index_en.html should be fine.

Or, you can download the current release ‘ruby-1.8.1-i386-mswin32.zip’,
which is older than the above but win32ole works (at least for me).

Thanks to all for you replies. Hopefully I will now be able to resolve this
problem with win32ole in the Ruby Installer for Windows.

I just posted 1.8.1-13 Release Candidate 1 (RC1)for the Ruby Installer for
Windows. This should fix the problems with RDoc and RI. RC2 will fix the
reported win32ole problem, but I wanted to get this part out as soon as
possible. You can download it here:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167

Please report any problems by creating a bug report (selecting the group
"181-13 Release Candidates") at:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?group_id=167&atid=715

It looks like the reports I’ve seen about RI (or its database) being broken
in the official 181 release may be true – There is still missing and
miscategorized information in the ri database.

I’m going to try using Ruby’s cvs head to create the RI database and overlay
that on top of our standard build for the RubyInstaller. Hopefully I can get
to that tonight – you may want to hold off testing this until then.
