Indeipherable "wrong constant name default (NameError)" on trivial document

[oddhack]

I recently updated some components in my Ruby install in order to use asciidoctor-pdf 1.5.0.alpha.14 , and started seeing a mysterious error. Even on a trivial document foo.txt containing only

= Title

the following command demonstrates the problem:

asciidoctor -b pdf --trace -r asciidoctor-pdf -r asciidoctor-mathematical foo.txt

The traceback says:

The "wrong constant name" error doesn't turn up at all in a web search, aside from somebody's explanation-free CI output, so I have not the slightest idea what to make of this. Removing -r asciidoctor-mathematical from the build makes the error go away, although I'm not at all sure that it's at fault - I've tried downgrading various components including asciidoctor-mathematical and the error remains. This makes me wonder if I somehow messed up my Ruby install in some other fashion, but as I'm unable to interpret the error I thought I'd start here.

@tstumm thanks. Downgrading to ruby-enum 0.7.0 (seems, build in process) to work for me as well.
