I installed the rhc gem on my Windows machine and receive the following error when trying to run the cli tool (e.g. rhc, rhc --help, rhc setup) rhc --help C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- dl/import (LoadError) from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh/authentication/pageant.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh/authentication/agent/socket.rb:5:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh/authentication/agent.rb:22:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh/authentication/key_manager.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh/authentication/session.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/net-ssh-2.9.2/lib/net/ssh.rb:11:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/ssh_helpers.rb:18:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/wizard.rb:77:in `<class:Wizard>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/wizard.rb:7:in `<module:RHC>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/wizard.rb:6:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands/base.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands/account.rb:2:in `<module:Commands>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands/account.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands.rb:189:in `block in load' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands.rb:188:in `each' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/commands.rb:188:in `load' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/lib/rhc/cli.rb:36:in `start' from C:/Ruby22-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rhc-1.37.1/bin/rhc:20:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby22-x64/bin/rhc:23:in `load' from C:/Ruby22-x64/bin/rhc:23:in `<main>'
RHC appears to work on windows when using any ruby version 2.1 or earlier. This error reported is only seen on ruby-2.2. As a temporary workaround, downgrade your ruby version. In the documentation, we recommend that ruby-1.9.3-p551 we installed and use with rhc, as this version has long been confirmed working: https://developers.openshift.com/en/getting-started-windows.html#client-tools We will investigate either resolving this odd issue when using ruby-2.2 or documenting that a ruby version prior to 2.2 is necessary.
Should this BZ be closed as a duplicate of 1288667?
Yes, it should. Thanks Bernie. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1288667 ***
