I get the same error on my installation. This is not a problem with
the port, though, but something in the standard lib module irb under
1.9. I assume you can safely use your ruby 1.9 installation and think
this is same minor regression from the 1.9 version bump. File a bug in
the ruby 1.9 bug tracker if you want to support the developers with
this problem.
