Rails - Apr 2006 - Shipping gem on windows

I am trying to use the shipping gem shipping.rubyforge.org, but I cant 
get it to work on my windows development box at all.  Problem anytime I 
try to do anything I get:

ArgumentError: couldn''t find HOME environment -- expanding 
`~/.shipping.yml''
        from 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/shipping-1.3.0/lib/shipping/base.rb:25:in 
`expand_path''
        from 
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/shipping-1.3.0/lib/shipping/base.rb:25:in 
`initialize''
        from (irb):4

It seems the gem is looking for the shipping.yml for loading presets, 
however I don;t even plan to use this feature.  I want to be able to 
snag the ups/fedex account info from a global settings table in the 
database.  But I cant get them gem to work at all on my dev windows box.

Is the shipping gem just not windows compatible?

Noone else has done this?
