Exerb and socket

ruby-talk
1

Has anyone out there tried creating a Windows executable with Exerb from
a script that contains a “require ‘socket’” statement? I tried
contacting the author via email Friday in the early morning (Pacific
Daylight Time) but have had no response yet. Here’s the behavior I’m
seeing:

Q:>proxy_Windows.exe
proxy_Windows.rb:2: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24) [i586-mswin32]

abnormal program termination

Q:>

where the proxy_Windows.rb script starts out

require 'smtpd’
require 'socket’
require ‘net/smtp’

and thus the executable is dying on requiring the socket library.

Which socket.so is included? This has happened to me for other c
extensions with exerb when then rbx contains a Ruby expecting a win32 or
mingw32 built extension and its gets a cygwin built one for example. Worth
making sure its not that problem…
