This is on the latest ruby stable and the latest linguistics stable.

Fix?

I am not upto speed with Ruby 1.9 encoding so I am not entirely sure if this is the recommended way of reading oneself but it does seem to work on my system.

Other than this 1.0.5 throws a few warnings here and there but does the job mostly.

Hey, thanks for the report and especially for the patch! I've been using a patched version myself under 1.9.1 for a while now, but I wasn't in a hurry to release anything new as I didn't think anyone still used this library. I guess I should have released it anyway, eh? :)

[anshul]

You most certainly should have and please do! It's a nice library really. I initially used it a year ago in a text analysis project. These days I use it to allow some convention based configuration in the dsl of my personal projects. Thanks for writing it and making it available.

Also,  require 'linguistics'. I am certainly not the only one! ;)

I just released my changes in 1.0.8. If you want to try them out before the gem index catches up, you can download the gem from:

 http://www.deveiate.org/code/linguistics-1.0.8.gem

Thanks again for the report! If it works for you too, I'll close this ticket.

Works like a a charm! Thanks.

Excellent!
