Hi doki_pen, I tried doing:
Shoes.setup do gem 'dnsruby' end require 'dnsruby' Resolv = Dnsruby::Resolv but Shoes then seems to hang permanently on "Looking for dnsruby". It could be a chicken and egg problem ... perhaps it cant find dnsruby because it cant resolve hostnames. What is strange is that the 'download' examples work fine ... (and they resolve the name google.com). So maybe it is something about Net::HTTP which breaks, whilst the 'download' method (which I think calls C++ code) works fine.
