Thanks for the feedback.

For ruby 1.9.2 this was indeed a bug in version 0.0.8.
(because BigDecimal.new() did not take Integer argument).

I resolved that in version 0.0.9, so could you check please which
version of relativity you are using.

To update to a new version, in a gemset that I had not updated yet,
I could successfully run this (did that just now):

$ gem list | grep relativity
relativity (0.0.8, 0.0.7, 0.0.6, 0.0.3)
$ gem install relativity
Fetching: relativity-0.0.9.gem (100%)
Successfully installed relativity-0.0.9
1 gem installed
$ irb
1.9.2p290 :001 > require 'relativity'
=> true
1.9.2p290 :002 > DayTime.new
=> 13:56:55

Note: it will not work at al in ruby 1.8.x because I am
using some newer Regexp features.

Thanks,

Peter
