Having problems using Portupgrade utilities because of Ruby.

It started last Friday and I waited for the weekend just in case the cvs =
tree will get updated with a possible fix.

Output of error is..

%portversion
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dl/types.rb:172:in `encode_type': =
unknown type: const char *. (TypeError)

It happens same for using portupgrade too.

I tried to google this and discovered that it is possible a ruby =
developer problem. The cvs tree was updated just recently and I tried to =
reinstall just to be sure.  I did this by deinstalling both ruby and =
portupgrade.  After I deinstalled ruby, I deleted the directory, =
/usr/local/lib/ruby.

I only installed portupgrade which installed ruby by "cd =
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/ ; make clean ; make install".

I still have this ruby problem above.

Any advices on how I can look into resolving this problem?
