From: MICHAEL.W.WILSON@... Date: 2001-01-25T23:17:28+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:9874] sockets...again This is a multipart message in MIME format. --=_alternative 004E6556852569DF_= Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" After my previous message regarding my inability to 'require "socket"', Dave suggested that I add the location of my socket.so (/usr/gnu/lib/ruby/1.6/sparc-solaris) to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH (should I have a socket.rb? I don't). In that same directory, I have etc.so, pty.so, md5.so, tcltklib.so and a bunch of header files. All of the shared libraries have 555 permissions, all of the headers have 644 permissions. I added that directory to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but still if I do something like: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require "socket" false I don't understand what I need to do in order to use these. The install was done while looking at the README, so I don't think I missed anything. Thanks in advance.
