Python supports 'del reference', which decrements the reference

Hi,

typo in 1.9.0 (mswin32 binary) rbconfig.rb?

From: Jon <jon.forums@...>
Date: 2008-01-04 15:55:46 UTC
List: ruby-core #14767
After installing mswin32 binary from 
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/unstable/ruby-1.9.0-0-i386-mswin32.zip

I ran into problems with both ri and gem in that both had incorrect path 
defaults.

For example, ri thought that it's 'site' and 'system' dirs were:

C:/LAN/ruby-1.9.0-0/share/ri/1.9.0/site
C:/LAN/ruby-1.9.0-0/share/ri/1.9.0/system

and 'gem environment' gave the following incorrect default setup (no 
$HOME/.gemrc to mask the problem) for path, home, and ruby exe:

RubyGems Environment:
   - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.0.1 (1.0.1)
   - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.0 (2007-12-25 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
   - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/LAN/ruby-1.9.0-0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.0
   - RUBYGEMS PREFIX: C:/ruby1.9/lib/ruby
   - RUBY EXECUTABLE: C:/LAN/ruby-1.9.0-0/bin/ruby.exe
   - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
     - ruby
     - x86-mswin32-60
   - GEM PATHS:
      - C:/LAN/ruby-1.9.0-0/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.0
   - GEM CONFIGURATION:
      - :update_sources => true
      - :verbose => true
      - :benchmark => false
      - :backtrace => false
      - :bulk_threshold => 1000
   - REMOTE SOURCES:
      - http://gems.rubyforge.org


FIX
===
appears that <INSTALL_DIR>\lib\ruby\1.9.0\i386-mswin32\rbconfig.rb has a 
typo in the arg to chomp! creating RbConfig::TOPDIR.

After changing from...
TOPDIR = File.dirname(__FILE__).chomp!("/lib/ruby/1.9/i386-mswin32")

to...
TOPDIR = File.dirname(__FILE__).chomp!("/lib/ruby/1.9.0/i386-mswin32")

the issue went away.
