The problem is where the binding is being executed. The 1.8.7-way obj.send(:binding) does not work anymore (see issue2161), the environment must be the object itself. So use instance_eval:

require 'ostruct'
require 'erb'

namespace = OpenStruct.new(:first => 'Salvador', :last => 'Espriu')
template = 'Name: <%= first %> <%= last %>'
ERB.new(template).result(namespace.instance_eval { binding })
#=> Name: Salvador Espriu
