meterpreter error -- Ruby Version

[lazydj98 at yahoo.com (Joshua Smith)]

I had a similar problem w/CYGWIN and had a hell of a time downgrading.  CYGWIN installer didn't offer an old ver (like 
it does for pretty much everything else), I found some refs to a repository you could add which had old ports, but it's 
dead, so I tried to compile from source which was one issue after another.  I had given up, but will go back to 1.8.7 
and svn the fix.  As always HD, you're the man.

Thanks, I should have remembered; I saw the post on that.

Yes, you are using a broken version of Ruby. The 1.8.7 stable release
broked short-named constants. The latest stable tree fixes it, but there
has yet to be a release cut from it. Your best option is to downgrade to
Ruby 1.8.6, or failing that, grab the latest stable-latest.tar.gz from
http://www.ruby-lang.org and use that instead.
