Can't install gems, cannot load such file -- socket (LoadError)
justin o
Been banging my head against this for a while, can't seem to find any information. I have ruby installed through RVM, and gem installed. But if I try to install a gem (ie. gem install sass) i get the following output:
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- socket (LoadError)

You're ruby installation is broken because 'socket' is provided by the standard library. If you've built via rvm, you need to ask them why it socket wasn't built properly.
