Can't 'build' WPGTR...

[Stephan Kämper]

Hi all,

I tried to 'build' Why's poignant guide to Ruby on my machine, but got
this message:

C:\tmp\wpgtr>C:\tmp\wpgtr\poignant.rb .
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:39:in `load': parse error on line
1160,
col 4: ` - !^sidebar' (ArgumentError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:39:in `load'
from C:/tmp/wpgtr/poignant.rb:12:in `load'
from C:/tmp/wpgtr/poignant.rb:78

The Ruby version is this:

C:\tmp\wpgtr>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]

and I installed the recent redcloth 2.0.3.
I'm running into the very same error, when running on Linux (same
redcloth version but Ruby 1.8.1).

Now ... what? The YAML line looks like all the other ones starting with
" - !^sidebar"...

Any ideas? Has anybody else ever tried to run "poignant.rb", except of
course Why?

Happy rubying

Stephan

Oh, I'm sure it won't work with 1.8.0, but 1.8.1 should be fine.
There's a kind friend on the poignant-stiffs list (the cavalier Chris
Hoge) who had that identical error and solved it by upgrading to a
stable snapshot of Ruby. [1]

I'm sorry. I'll tie a little hanky to a readme warning in CVS.
