YAML and mod_ruby

ruby-talk

Here’s a small puzzle.

I take a working .rbx and I do a require ‘yaml’ near the top.

Now it fails.

Error shown below.

Ideas??

Thanks,
Hal

I can’t explain exactly why this is happening, but I’m removing the
require ‘date’ at the top of lib/yaml/rubytypes.rb. This module is
conditionally loaded in ext/syck/rubyext.c now. For now, you should be
able to remove the line and – though it’s hard to say without really
looking into auto-reload.rb – you should be okay.
