       #If you go into the ruby/ext/socket directory and type

         #ruby extconf.rb

       #does it complain about not being able to find anything?


       #Dave

       No, it does a configure, I went through all of the relevant
       directories in under ext and did that, then a make then a make
       install, still nothing.  There is a
       "/usr/gnu/lib/ruby/1.6/sparc-solaris2.6/socket.so", but that's
       it.  ruby -e 'require "socket" or print "oh no"' says "oh no".
       Did I screw something up in the installation?  I uncommented
       everything that I wanted from ext/Setup.

       ...show me?  Yeah, I'm pretty slow with stuff sometimes,
       showing me would really be the best way ;)
