Portupgrade - Ruby error

[Haulmark, Chris]

Having problems using Portupgrade utilities because of Ruby.

It started last Friday and I waited for the weekend just in case the cvs tree will get updated with a possible fix.

Output of error is..

%portversion

It happens same for using portupgrade too.

I tried to google this and discovered that it is possible a ruby developer problem. The cvs tree was updated just recently and I tried to reinstall just to be sure.  I did this by deinstalling both ruby and portupgrade.  After I deinstalled ruby, I deleted the directory, /usr/local/lib/ruby.

I only installed portupgrade which installed ruby by "cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/ ; make clean ; make install".

I still have this ruby problem above.

Any advices on how I can look into resolving this problem?
