But building watir-common failed again - couldn't find HOME: C:\dev\watir-common>rake gem --trace (in C:/dev/watir-common) rake aborted! couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.hoerc' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.8.0/lib/hoe.rb:435:in `expand_path' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.8.0/lib/hoe.rb:435:in `with_config' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.8.0/lib/hoe.rb:472:in `define_tasks' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.8.0/lib/hoe.rb:426:in `initialize' C:/dev/watir-common/rakefile:5:in `new' C:/dev/watir-common/rakefile:5 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:2349:in `load' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:2349:in `raw_load_rakefile ' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:1985:in `load_rakefile' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:2036:in `standard_exceptio n_handling' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:1984:in `load_rakefile' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:1969:in `run' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:2036:in `standard_exceptio n_handling' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake.rb:1967:in `run' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/bin/rake:31 c:/ruby/bin/rake:19:in `load' c:/ruby/bin/rake:19 Any ideas what I'm missing now? Thanks again for all this help. Once this is complete, I'll happily add what worked for me to the wiki.
