Hello.

Consider searching the web for the information you seek:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+socket

This was the _first_ result.
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/socket/rdoc/index.html

Hope that helps,

Ah, if that's what you meant, that's what you should have said. :slight_smile:

It works fine for me:

Slim:~ gkistner$ ri Socket
---------------------------------------------------------- Class:
Socket
     Class Socket provides access to the underlying operating system
     socket implementations. It can be used to provide more operating
     system specific functionality than the protocol-specific socket
     classes but at the expense of greater complexity. In particular,
     the class handles addresses using +struct sockaddr+ structures
[snip]

But I'm on MacOS X with my own build of Ruby 1.8.5. What version of
Ruby are you using?

It most definitely gets generated on 1.8.5. You're either missing some part of ruby or need to file a bug with your ruby packager.
