Subject: Re: Ruby on AIX?

I also use Ruby in AIX, but I have problems every now and then.
I have 66 RS/6000 (AIX) servers and I have problems with many of then
installing Ruby. Furthermore, on the system running AIX 5.2, I can't
get socket support.
So, since I work on a distributed environment where we distribute the
same scripts to every server, and since Ruby refuse to work on every
server, I had to remove it from all. Too bad since I really like Ruby.
So, I went back to Korn Shell and Perl.
Oh well, the story of my life.
