Rebuilding a Ruby environment after moving from Mandriva 2008.0 to 2009.1.
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i586-linux]
ruby-svg-1.0.2
I get the following error trace
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in

Version information:

Is this some sort of version compatibility issue? There was no such
problem under the previous environment.
Any help welcome.

svg << %| textLength="#{@}"| if @length
isn't legal Ruby. The @ can't stand alone. It's a prefix indicating an instance variable, like "@length". I don't know why it wasn't being diagnosed before. It looks like an search-and-replace error of some sort.

Tim, thanks for a quick reply.
I checked back to the previous version:
# $Id: element.rb,v 1.14 2003/02/06 14:59:43 yuya Exp $
The corresponding line was indeed:
svg << %| textLength="#{@length}"| if @length
So, I shall make the appropriate edit and retry.
Does this need to be reported as a bug?
Regards

I don't see why not. The developer will probably thank you for it.
