Just tested the 1.5.0 release on a couple of Linux boxes and looks like it's not compatible with Ruby 1.8.6. I get this when running sudo gem update --system:

./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require': undefined method `end_with?' for "no such file to load -- Win32API":String (NoMethodError)

This is on ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-linux]. RubyGems 1.4.2 worked fine.

I gather the end_with? method was only added in Ruby 1.8.7 (tested on ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i686-linux] and it works fine).

   (BTW, I initially looked for a link to the RubyGems bug tracker and couldn't find one. Figured this was the bug tracker.)
