netlist.rb:2:in `require': no such file to load -- subexec (LoadError)

[natv]

It could be something I'm doing wrong, kind of new to Ruby. I'm running this on the latest version of Backtrack .

This is what I get when testing:

t# ruby netlist.rb facebook
netlist.rb:2:in `require': no such file to load -- subexec (LoadError)

I did a "gem install subexec":

t# gem install subexec
Successfully installed subexec-0.2.2
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for subexec-0.2.2...
Installing RDoc documentation for subexec-0.2.2...

but I still get the same error.

Thanks

What version of Ruby are you running?

If you're running Ruby 1.8, try:

ruby -rubygems netlist.rb facebook

Alternatively, you can add RubyGems to RUBYOPT:

export RUBYOPT="rubygems"

[natv]

t# ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-07-02) [i486-linux]

Thanks Eric

Hmmm, not exactly sure right off the bat.. Do you have RVM installed? Also, what's which ruby output?

[natv]

Hi Eric,

which ruby

/usr/bin/ruby

If you let me know how to check for RVM I will.

[EricR]

There's your issue. ruby points to "/usr/bin/ruby", but gem is using "/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2". To verify this, could you try running /usr/bin/ruby1.9.2 netlist.rb facebook?

RVM is a popular Ruby version manager, and it helps you deal with multiple installations of Ruby and multiple gemsets on your machine. Without it, your environment may end up referencing different Ruby paths, which seems to be what's happening here.

Hmm. still getting the same thing, tested both ways:

/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2 netlist.rb facebook

netlist.rb:2:in require': no such file to load -- subexec (LoadError) from netlist.rb:2:in

'

/usr/bin/ruby netlist.rb facebook

netlist.rb:2:in require': no such file to load -- subexec (LoadError) from netlist.rb:2:in

'

[EricR]

Huh. I'm not really sure, sorry!

The last thing I can think of would be to try: export GEM_HOME="/var/lib/gems/1.9.2" and export GEM_HOME="/root/.gem/ruby/1.9.2"

for the noobs who will be looking at this.

the prob is: you're missing a dependency
the solution is:
gem install ronin-support
