I am having issues with PayPal’s SOAP API layer. I am using Ruby 1.8.3  
in Ubuntu Breezy.

I downloaded soap4r and used the wsdl2ruby.rb to create  
‘defaultDriver.rb’ and other files to map to the PayPal SOAP API.

I am connecting to the sandbox test server with a account and password  
and have the certificates and keys in the right spots.

I am getting this following error returned from the SOAP request:

10006  
Version is not supported

The first error 10006 is a PayPal error basically saying what the  
following line says. Version not supported means that I need to set the  
version in the Request, but I can’t see where to set that in the files  
that wsdl2ruby.rb created. Here is the script I am trying to  
run(basically a customer trying to purchase something using the Direct  
Payment API method).

The credit card number is fake btw, i am just trying to sucessfully  
connect at this point. I have the correct username/passwords, i ommited  
them in my example.

I have taken much of my methods from this howto, but the author uses a  
different PayPal API method than I do, and when I run his script, I  
cannot set the version either.

Note: You are not using ruby 1.8.3, you are using a cvs version from  
06-23-2005. 1.8.2 basically with some patches.

I recommend downloading the latest ruby and installing to a private  
directory.  
I use stock packages, but sometimes it just doesn’t work well.
