From: Dave Thomas Date: 2001-11-18T23:24:05+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:25753] Misunderstanding or bug? $ ruby -rsocket -e "TCPSocket.new('localhost','ftp').recvfrom(30)" -e:1:in `recvfrom': getnameinfo: ai_family not supported (SocketError) This happens with ruby 1.6.5 (2001-11-08) and 1.7.2 under a Linux 2.4. It works fine under 1.7.2 on an older Linux box. Dave
