rb_sys_fail(socket(2)) Ticket #9438

Shawn Fessenden

Where are we with respect to the (Windows) one click installer & this issue?

I don't have VC++ 8 & so can't compile. Are there binaries available
somewhere? If so can I just plop 'em in \ruby\bin? Should I fall back to
1.8.4?

You could try the mingw ruby version. Then at least you have the
compiler.
Should it fail there then...unfortunately you'll probably have to hack
around in the C and try and figure out what is going on.
It might be a ruby bug, might be a VC6 bug.
you could try cygwin, too.
Also could file a bug report on http://redmine.ruby...
Cheers!

Yes in fact it was determined (more or less) to be a ... call it a VC6 RT
incompatibility. At any rate, dev folks are aware of it. In fact the ticket
was closed almost a year ago. The binaries installed by the one click
installer still suffer the problem (as of 1.8.6-26, PL 111).

I was hoping somebody had devised a workaround or there was a VC8 binary set
around somewhere. I'm planning on distributing a rubyscript2exe executable
that will target XP & use ICMP. But... that part is mostly just a whistle. I
could do without it. Or 1.8.4 is an option.

Anyway thanks for the reply.

If it's a VC6 bug then it might not be a super huge prio, since OCI is
moving away from VC6 hopefuly soon.

is an example of the mingw installer. Perhaps it plays better.
Cheers!

Rats! No joy there either. Still - cool tips :)
I'll probably either fall back or just forget about ICMP. Es no biggie.

Thanks for your help R.

Heh. If it's an msvcrt6 thing then you'll either need to find [create?]
a work around using msvcrt6 [maybe ask the mingw guys?] or build your
own that doesn't use msvcrt6--i.e. recompile all of ruby using a newer
MS VC compiler than 6.0--scary.
Take care!

That error was reported and fixed in the latest CVS.

Refer to http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issue...

Soon or later there will be new release on
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download/re...

I decided to just let it go. I'll come back to it after everything else is
done.
