[MacRuby-devel] REXML UTF-8 Encoding not found

[Mark Rada]

It seems that I lied a little, the commit where I made the change is here:

https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/commit/b98b9da5d7da09a7dfa65d298df5d1c880d36ff2

but that is all the way back in May. It felt like it was just the other day. On the upside though, I have prepared a fix for the problem:

https://github.com/ferrous26/MacRuby/commit/e4525fc4f9d91ffbad155340b99710e750aef5b7

It is just a matter of testing that it works now. If it does, then it will be merged into MacRuby and available in a nightly build in the next day or two.

At this point, it is not a simple matter changing the rexml source. Hmmm...

I was reading in Matt's excellent book (does that count as a quote?) that the --stdlib can only load one library rather than the entire set of libraries when I pass --embed?
