I am trying to run a program that has: require “socket” at the beginning.I am getting the error: pgm.rb:1:in ‘require’: No such file to load – socket (LoadError) This is under AIX (Unix) and it happens under 1.8.0 and 1.8.1. I think it got to be perhaps a path issue or I may need something else under Unix.
Could anyone help? Thank you

Verify that socket.so is installed. Generally it's in CONFIG["archdir"]
svg% ruby -rrbconfig -e 'p Dir[Config::CONFIG["archdir"] + "/sock*"]'
["/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/socket.so"]

If you don't find it : this mean that ruby was not able to build it at
compile it : try to see if it give errors, when you compile it

I checked the system and sure enough the socket.so file was not found.
Is there anyway to built it or should I recompile ruby?
Thank you

Verify that socket.so is installed. Generally it’s in CONFIG[“archdir”]

Well, if you have the source of ruby you can do
cd ruby-1.8.1/ext/socket
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install
If it don't create a file Makefile, look for errors into mkmf.log

I am having the same problem wth socket installing on AIX 4.3.
No errors during compile.
If I go into the ext/socket directory and run
ruby extconf.rb
make
I get
Target "all" is up to date.
Target "install" is up to date.
However, looking at mkmf.log I am getting a lot of errors similar to
the following:

Any ideas?
