Which patch? The one for rexml?

Are you running 10.4.11?  I am and I also have the release version of Safari 3 installed: Version 3.0.4 (523.12).

There was a warning in the rubycocoa getting started page about rubycocoa not compiling if you have a v3 betat of webkit but since I now had the release version of Safari 3 I tried compiling and it worked.

Take a look at Webkit/Safari issues.
