    I've been unable to reproduce this error in 2 different installs of Merb (OS X and Linux) with the latest merb gems (0.9.2).

    Perhaps there is something in your ~/.irbrc file that is being loaded that causes this error?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thanks for your reply, I don't have that file in my mac. This is happening in any merb app that I add this in init.rb 

    require 'merb-action-args'
or
require 'merb-more'

    Any other suggestion?

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    Hi Peter,

    I've been able to reproduce your error by requiring 'merb-action-args'. I'll see about getting it fixed when I have some free time.

    I think I've traced the error to either ruby2ruby or to Ruby's own completion.rb library. Not sure which is the culprit. merb-action-args uses ruby2ruby which is why you see the error when requiring that library or merb-more (which includes merb-action-args).

    I'm not exactly sure what the fix is since I'm guessing it isn't a merb specific issue.

    Yeah this seems to be a ruby2ruby problem , I'll put this ticket on hold until i can get an answer form them.
