RUBY on 64-bit Windows PCs

ruby-talk
1

There has been virtually no testing on 64 bit Windows because, well,
very few people have access to 64 bit Windows boxes.

Can you provide a sample script that demonstrates the problem? If you
step through it with the debugger can you see what line it freezes on?

Regards,

Dan

I can't seem to get Ruby's ftp to work on a new 64-bit Intel
box I just
got. It simply freezes up. Has anyone heard of such problems?
I'm having
to copy my files over to garden variety 32-bit boxes to get
my ftp'ing
done.

Thanks,
Peter

Dan,
It happens on a simple script like the one below, right at the first
"end." It freezes up and I have to essentially close down the shell, in
Windows.

FYI--64-bit Windows boxes are becoming more common. Our HP rep. sold
mine to us, telling us that is was now the standard for "workstation"
class PCs. I think Intel has been freaked out by the AMD success with
their new (64-bit) chips.

#Get any Cindex files first.
cindexfiles = Dir.glob("*_*-*.pdf")
cindexfiles.each do |cindexfile|
        ftp = Net::FTP.open('mpc.bna.com') do |ftp|
  ftp.debug_mode = true
  ftp.passive = true
  ftp.login('peterb','pbail')
  ftp.chdir('/data/ps2000test')
  ftp.putbinaryfile(cindexfile)
  end
end

Thanks,

I've been using a 64 bit AMD and windows 2000 for months without any trouble with ruby.

OK. Well, I guess it's another issue then. Maybe some ports are closed,
although, I can ftp just fine using the command shell.

Thanks.
