protocol.rb is requiring 'socket'. Usually you'll have a file socket.so under /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/[host-arch] where [host-arch] is a directory name for your system architecture, eg: i368-linux or x86_64-linux You say you installed ruby in /home/vsoich/ruby-1.8.6, so, perhaps the socket.so shared lib got placed relative to there instead of in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/. You may need to add a directory to environment variable RUBYLIB to let ruby find your local ruby libraries. -- Devin Ben-Hur 503/860-4114 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Startups are basically comedies, or at least seem so in retrospect." -- Paul Graham -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
