In article <m2vgsv3xly.fsf / zip.local.thomases.com>, Dave / thomases.com says... ||| We have a section on it in the Programming Ruby book. I just ||| translated it to XML and put it up at ||| ||| http://dev.rubycentral.com/articles/drb.html ||| I tried to use this example with ruby 1.6.1 (2000-09-27) [i586- mswin32] built by me on Win2k using MSVC 6. If I type in the TestServer program exactly like the example, this is what I get: [c:\tmp\ruby\drb]ruby TestServer.rb deadlock 0x2c71e58: 2:1 - C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/drb/drb.rb:230 deadlock 0x2c857a8: 2:8 (main) - TestServer.rb:11 TestServer.rb:11:in `join': Thread: deadlock (fatal) from TestServer.rb:11 The same thing happens with the samples in the drb-1.2.2 sample directory. For example, the darray.rb program: [c:\new\ruby\drb-1.2.2\sample]ruby darray.rb druby://floyd:4713 deadlock 0x2c71f00: 2:1 - C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/drb/drb.rb:230 deadlock 0x2c857a8: 2:8 (main) - darray.rb:12 darray.rb:12:in `join': Thread: deadlock (fatal) from darray.rb:12 Is there something I'm missing?
