I am trying to run a program that has: require "socket" at the beginning.I am getting the error: pgm.rb:1:in 'require': No such file to load -- socket (LoadError) This is under AIX (Unix) and it happens under 1.8.0 and 1.8.1. I think it got to be perhaps a path issue or I may need something else under Unix.

Could anyone help? Thank you

Verify that socket.so is installed. Generally it's in CONFIG["archdir"]

svg% ruby -rrbconfig -e 'p Dir[Config::CONFIG["archdir"] + "/sock*"]'
["/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/socket.so"]
svg%

If you don't find it : this mean that ruby was not able to build it at
compile it : try to see if it give errors, when you compile it
