Getting ERROR while opening the PST File.

I get this error while opening the Outlook file 

pst = Mapi::Pst.new open("/home/anurag/Desktop/Outlook.pst")
Is it because the outlook file is of 2007 format ? please let me know I am 
stuck because of this. 

Stack Trace is mentioned below. 

ArgumentError: invalid value for Integer(): "\x17"

Hi,

Sorry at this point ruby 1.9 is not supported. There's a bit of work involved 
cleaning up where the code expects String#[] to return an Integer. This is on 
the roadmap, but not likely to be done for a few months.

No, I'm not likely to have time to look at 1.9 support in the near future.

I'm having this exact issue except I'm using ruby 2.1.1. Is there another 
workaround? Thanks
