Hello, I'm in the early stages of learning Ruby. I've been playing with std library classes to get situated a bit and I can't get this simple GServer subclass to run properly. It's taken straight from the GServer class docs. I'm running ruby 1.8.1 on cygwin/winXP. require 'gserver' class SimpleServer < GServer def initialize(port=10001,*args) super(port,*args) end def serve(io) io.puts(Time.now.to_i) end end theS = SimpleServer.new theS.audit = true theS.start When I run it, I get this: $ ruby NetTest.rb [Fri Oct 29 22:10:28 2004] SimpleServer 127.0.0.1:10001 start [Fri Oct 29 22:10:28 2004] SimpleServer 127.0.0.1:10001 stop No error, but I'm assuming there was some problem binding to port 10001 or otherwise starting the server. How can I dig a little deeper to find the cause of the problem? many thanks... Hernan
