Hello.

Consider searching the web for the information you seek:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+socket

This was the first result.
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/socket/rdoc/index.html

Hope that helps,

But I’m on MacOS X with my own build of Ruby 1.8.5. What version of
Ruby are you using?

Works on (K)ubuntu too…

It most definitely gets generated on 1.8.5. You’re either missing
some part of ruby or need to file a bug with your ruby packager.
