Net/ssh and ruby 1.9.1

Ruby
1

Hey All,

I’m trying to use net/ssh under ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision
24175) [i386-mingw32]. When I try to do a simple “require ‘net/ssh’”
I get the below stack trace (uninitialized constant DL::Importable
(NameError)).

Asking on the rubyinstaller group I’m told that net/ssh needs to be
updated to use the new DL library. But looking at the project home
page (http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh/) it looks like the last
word is a “Farewell” from Jamis B…

If that’s orphaned & not compatible w/1.9.1, I guess I’m out of luck?
Have to use 1.8.x?

Thanks!

You are using a fairly old version - 2.0.21 is the current version and
it
looks like this issue was addressed with 2.0.17 - see
http://net-ssh.lighthouseapp.com/projects/36253/tickets/3-doesnt-work-with-ruby-19-windows#ticket-3-8

Try gem update or gem install net-ssh to get the latest version from
gemcutter/rubygems

Looks like I got it once and got around it by doing an
“update your rubyzip and net-ssh gems”

Thanks guys–updating to 2.0.21 did the trick. I’m not sure how I
wound up w/the old version in the first place (old rubygems install w/
a bum ‘sources’ list maybe?) but all is well now.

Thanks!
