What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
api version:
os version: Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
This is how I fixed it.
================= FIX ========================
change line 9 in environment.rb
from: 'uname -sr'.sub(' ', '/')
to:   "uname -sr".sub(' ', '/')

I'm not sure if that breaks anything else since I'm new to Ruby. But that being 
said, it worked for me.

That's not actually a fix. What you did was to cause the command to simply 
never get executed.

Which prevents the error, but doesn't actually make the code work as intended.

Unfortunately, this means I need to set up a Windows development environment, 
which I don't currently have.

I wish I could help more but I'm still in the early stages of learning Ruby. If 
you want to fire off any changes that you think might work I'd be glad to test 
them in my Windows Environment.

Hello,

I have the same issue. I'm using :
* google-api-client-0.2.0
* windows 7
* ruby 1.9.2
* mingw environment

Here is the output console for the 'ver' command (as you requested in issue 
#18):

> RUBY_PLATFORM
RUBY_PLATFORM = "i386-mingw32"

> ver
NameError: undefined local variable or method `ver' for main:Object
    from (irb):1
    from C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

Oh, excellent, thanks for getting me the version string. That should help sort 
this out.
