1.8.0 vs. Windows XP problem

[Michael Campbell]

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?

This means your installation was not complete. socket.dll is not
installed at the right position. Show us your $LOAD_PATH and the log
output from "make install".

set up an alias or something in your addressbook if that seems too
daunting.

Out of curiosity, what did he do to screw up your
mail client?
