The one system administration-ish module that Ruby is missing is a good a SNMP
library. Perl has a good wrapper around UCD/NET-snmp and is one of the few
reasons I could think of for still using Perl. ruby-snmp is based on an
outdated version of the UCD-snmp library and doesn’t seem to have been
updated since 2001. The link to the simple_snmp homepage on RAA is broken so
I couldn’t take a look at it.
It would be useful to have a good SNMP library available through Ruby, and
would make it easier to pitch Ruby to some of the networking folks I know.
Is this something any one else is working on? I’ve never wrapped a C library
before so I’m a bit hesitant about starting with this one.
Are there any other libraries people miss from Perl or Python?

Last time I compiled it, I think I had to fix the C source, because a
member wasn’t static (or was static, my C is rusty).

This is the one I had trouble with (for the s2nmp module):
http://members.tripod.co.jp/m6809/
Looking at the Google page for the module:
http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/m6809/index.html
It seems like this one also hasn’t been updated since 2001 and I’ve yet to try
it with Ruby 1.8.1.

I was thinking more along the lines of porting it to version 5 of the NET-snmp
libraries.

The version I referenced works fine.

You won’t need to, they’re compatible:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4$ objdump -x snmp.so | grep libnetsnmp.so.5
NEEDED libnetsnmp.so.5
