Thank you Ryan for your hint. However, it doesn't work What I did: I installed gedcom gem with: gem install gedcom All seems ok I use Ruby: $ruby --version ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i386-darwin10.2.0] I try date_spec.rb: (from tests/date_spec.rb) $ ruby date_spec.rb and I get date_spec.rb:2:in `<main>': uninitialized constant GEDCOM (NameError) Do I miss something? What don't I understand? I am sorry if these questions are too basic. Thank you for replies. François
