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/](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! -Roy c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ssh/ authentication/pageant.rb:24:in `': uninitialized constant DL::Importable (NameError) from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:23:in `module:Pageant’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:15:in `' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:6:in `module:SSH’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:6:in `' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:6:in `\’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/agent.rb:6:in `require' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/agent.rb:6:in `\’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/key\_manager.rb:4:in `require' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/key_manager.rb:4:in `\’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/session.rb:4:in `require' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh/authentication/session.rb:4:in `\’ from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh.rb:11:in `require' from c:/ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/net-ssh-2.0.16/lib/net/ ssh.rb:11:in `\’ from globals.rb:1:in `require' from globals.rb:1:in `’ ---

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](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 John ---

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! -Roy
