My next bright idea was to uninstall ruby 1.8.7 and try installing 1.8.6, which is what works on my old pc. That seemed to install ok, but when I do gem update --system, I get an error "ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException) HTTP response 302
Is there a different way to install watir 1.6.2 with ruby 1.8.6? I have looked at the archived emails on this and they say to do gem update --system and then gem install watir-1.6.2.gem. But neither of those works for me now. They did work, with ruby 1.8.7, but require 'watir' doesn't work with ruby 1.8.7 for me. -- Lisa 2012/2/16 Lisa Crispin <lisa.cris...@gmail.com> > Also, I tried putting the gems folder in my Path variable, someone > suggested that to me on Twitter, that doesn't help either. > > > 2012/2/16 Lisa Crispin <lisa.cris...@gmail.com> > >> I didn't have to do that on my other machine, but what the heck, I tried >> adding require 'rubygems'.
