From: Michael Campbell Date: 2003-08-11T23:39:38+09:00 Subject: 1.8.0 vs. Windows XP problem I downloaded the latest source and built ruby under cygwin. make, make test, make install all succeeded. However, I have a script which fails now and didn't used to. I've narrowed it down to this: bash-2.05b$ ruby -v -w -e 'require "net/ftp"' /cygdrive/c/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:14:in `require': No such file to load -- socket (LoadError) from /cygdrive/c/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/ftp.rb:14 from -e:1:in `require' from -e:1 ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-cygwin] The odd thing is, the exact same procedure works fine on my Windows 98 box! I'm sure this is something silly, but I can't see the problem. Thoughts?
