RockiT Install problems

[Brad]

All:

Has anyone else run into Rockit installation problems using Ruby 1.8.0?

Aside from getting a plethora of warnings concerning deprecated API calls
which I've managed to fix via simple text substitution), ruby encountered a
segmentation fault and died; however, the script finished running and
pretended to install the 'executable'.

Any info on this topic would be great.

Thanks,
Brad

I didn't have any issues with seg faults. I'm running on Windows XP and
compiled my own ruby-1.8.0 with Visual C++. I fixed all the same
"Object.type is deprecated" warnings and got stuck trying to bootstrap
the parser generator, which looks more like a Rockit bug than a Ruby one:
<snip>
(0.11 s 86.24%)
Parsing rockit-grammar.grammar./glr_parser.rb:106:in
`handle_parse_error': No va
lid token found on stacks: (ParseException)
stack 0: on line:
' Grammar for rockit grammars, version 0.5.1'
^
</snip>

Mr. Feldt, any ideas on this one?

Thanks,
Chad
