[MacRuby-devel] macruby nightly build 2009-09-10

[Conrad Taylor]

Hi Matt, thanks for gettih back to me.  In regards to the failing  
specs, how does one determine what's failing?  I have been running the  
following:

rake spec:ci

In any case, I would like to get started on this as soon as possible.   
Thus, if someone can provide the details, it would be greatly  
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad
