The last time I tried Ruby on BeOS the sockets didn’t work right and  
building extensions didn’t work right. Has this been fixed?

If only Zeta didn’t charge so much…

The version of Ruby available for BeOS is an old one, the behavior you  
mention may be a result of changes made to the language since then. I  
was  
thinking about working on a BeOS/Haiku port of a recent version of Ruby.  
Is  
there anything, RafaelK, that you learned making the Zeta port that I  
might  
find useful? Any major hang-ups to be sure and avoid?

Thanks,  
Ben
