Hi Is there any secret to getting socket to compile on OS X? I have built ruby but socket did not make a .bundle. I was able to copy the socket.bundle from an older install and use that, but it bothers me that I couldn't get it to install. Also, a more general question, how does one get the extensions to build explicitly. Doing the following doesn't seem to work in general: cd ext/<ext_to_compile> ruby extconf.rb make -- Jim Freeze ---------- Turnaucka's Law: The attention span of a computer is only as long as its electrical cord.
