Ruby help on Jailbroken iOS
I'm having issues with Ruby on iOS. Any gem command fails. If I try to gem update:
mobile$ gem update
Updating installed gems
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __OSSwapInt16 Referenced from: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/arm-darwin9/socket.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace
dyld: Symbol not found: __OSSwapInt16
Referenced from: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/arm-darwin9/socket.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace
Trace/BPT trap: 5
What's interesting is ruby -v shows 1.9.2:
mobile$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [arm-darwin9]
Any ideas on how to fix? I've tried removing Ruby package via Cydia and reinstalling but it's the same.

- viper1092 14y agoThank you for your useless attempt to be a jerk. If this is not the place for "that sort of thing", why are there various "Ask HN" type posts a la http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4403897 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4403897 ? My apologies for feeding the trolls here, but it seems HN is a hostile and destructive environment.
- astrodust 14y agoNumber of "Help me with my Ruby code" posts that get constructive answers on HN: Zero. Number of "Help me with my Ruby code" posts that get constructive answers on Stack Overflow: Nearly All. There's a place for everything. Don't accuse me of being a jerk for pointing that out. The kind of content that's best suited to Hacker News is something that has general appeal to people in the development, start-up, or general technical scene. Your specific problem, no matter how important it is to you personally, is not that sort of thing. Stack Overflow is specifically designed to answer these sorts of questions. Why are you throwing a fit when that's your best option?
