Hi, just in case someone has a solution for this,

i just installed oneclickinstall(ruby186rc2) in windows, then installed  
net-ping. all fine, until i run a simple script that uses net-ping and i  
got the ff:

--------------------------\>8  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ping-1.2.3-x86-mswin32-60/lib/net/ping/icmp.rb:65:  
[BUG] rb\_sys\_fail(socket(2)) - errno == 0  
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual  
way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information.  
--------------------------\>8

if i remove net-ping, the error does not occur, so it’s sure a net-ping  
problem (w oneclickinstaller maybe)

thanks for the help

kind regards -botp

This bug was reported and fixed.  
Refer to [http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/714](http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/714)

But unfortunately, there are no bug fixed release of 1.8.6 or 1.8.7.

The workaround is using Ruby 1.9.1 or building your own ruby from the  
patched source code.

Regards,

Park H.

you fixed it. thanks.

arggh, that is unfortunate indeed. A bug is a bug and must be fixed.  
Couldn’t the oneclickinstaller incorporate your fixed?

another reason to use 1.9.  
maybe i’ll have to abandon 1.8 completely now.

thanks and kind regards
