I'm looking to upgrade to 1.8.6-p230 on Windows XP. I initially
installed with the One Click Installer, and am currently running: ruby
1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-mswin32]
...with a warning that I'll lose my gems unless I work around it by
renaming
c:\ruby to something else, installing ruby, then overwrite
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems with the old version and call 'gem update' to
fetch the new versions.
Is that advice still true? Anything you'd recommend instead?
1. I have written response to a similar thread this morning.
2. You might want to wait with the upgrade, as 230 is known to be
broken. See recent threads here and on ruby-core.
Alternatively, use the patched provided instead of the "upstream" 230.
