[MacRuby-devel] REXML

[Robert Rice]

Dear MacRuby development team:

I am new to Ruby and I have an application that I would like to port  
to MacRuby. The two extensions I will need are XML and serial port I/O.
So far I have not been able to get them to work:

[Process completed]

Can anyone help me? Do I have a bad installation of MacRuby?

Thanks,
