Same problem here with inifile 3.0.0. Version 1.1.0 is OK.

You do realize 1.8.7 has been abandonned almost 2 years ago ?
I don't think you should expect gems to work on it.

That said, you could try to install oniguruma, the regex lib for 1.9 and later, if I'm not mistaken.

It's OK not to make 3.0.0 compatible with ruby 1.8.7 !
