Re: Ruport csv exporting failing on trivial dump

[Andrew France]

Hi Federico,

Ruport is not currently Ruby 1.9.2 compatible, sorry. I started
working on making it so two days ago and am still working on getting
the test suite running.

You'll find the Google Group for Ruport at http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-reports
and the main repository at https://github.com/ruport/ruport. You'll
find a quick fix for the CSV issue at https://github.com/ruport/ruport/pull/7.
PDF Writer seems to have more issues, there is some work in forks that
I might be able to merge.

As none of this is a Rails issue, it seems appropriate to switch to
the Ruport group to continue this conversation and I have cc'ed it
(hopefully).

Regards,
Andrew
