Hello!

I'm having trouble setting up the Twitter gem in a Ruby 1.9.3 environment on a PowerBook G4. A bit of the history is here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ruby-twitter-gem/S13ce3nHQSo

In trying to research what my problem might be, I have installed two instances of the gem using RVM (rvm 1.10.0). One on Ruby 1.9.2 (ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [powerpc-darwin9.8.0]) and the other on Ruby 1.9.3 (ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [powerpc-darwin9.8.0]).

Using bundler (version 1.1.rc.5) to install the dependencies to run the test spec, I get the following:-

**For the Ruby 1.9.2 version**

$ bundle install --verbose > bundle.log

The contents of the log are here:
https://gist.github.com/1505893#file_ruby_1.9.2_twitter_bundle_install.log

The test spec runs and all tests pass after the bundle installation completes. Yipee!

**For the Ruby 1.9.3 version**

$ bundle install --verbose > bundle.log

The contents of the log are here:
https://gist.github.com/1505893#file_ruby_1.9.3_twitter_bundle_install.log

I do not get to the point where I can run the test spec. Boo!

In the case of the Ruby 1.9.3 version the bundle installation hangs indefinitely. Control-C does not exit the installation but Control-Z does.

Is there a dependency in the Twitter gem that prevents it from running on Ruby 1.9.3?

Thanks in advance for the help.
