Ruby Version

Does lich only work on Ruby 1.87 352?

I was having some C++ Runtime errors when I logged into the game via Lich, so I figured I'd try and update it to a newer version of Ruby.

I installed Ruby 1.93 p394, and I couldn't get lich to launch.

Something I'm doing or is Lich, Ruby version specific?

Reverting back to 1.87 got me back into the game.

Here's the error if anyone knows how to fix it... it is still happening

Lich should work on any 1.8 or 1.9 version of Ruby. The reason it didn't work when you upgraded is that Ruby doesn't come with the GTK bindings needed for Lich to make windows. You can install them yourself, which may or may not go well. The ruby-gtk installer used for Ruby 1.8 won't work for 1.9, there seems to be a large problem with threads if you try to compile the bindings yourself, and there may still be a lag issue when using Ruby 1.9 on Windows. You'd probably have to install the bindings as a gem, which didn't seem to work well the last time I tried.

None of this applies to Linux. It's easy to install whatever version of Ruby and GTK bindings you want and they work great on Linux.
