Hi Simon, > Sounds like rspec is relying on some *NIX stuff here Yeah, I recognized that it was looking for a home directory on a *nix box, but I couldn't think of a counterpart on Windows, because I've only got a slew of partitions (C:\, D:\ ...) but no home.
You came up with a good insight. I tried my admin subdir in Documents and Settings and noted that one of the subdirectories was gem. That sounded good, but no prize. So I did a search of DandS for rspec. Found a good subdir with lots of rspec entries. Set HOME to that via the control panel. Started a new Command Window so that the new settings would be read in and got. K:\>rspec -v 2.4.0 Mission Accomplished. Thanks for your keen insights.
