ruby ping for 1.9.1

Question

I want to ping a site in my ruby code and saw that net-ping was a nice library to do this with. Unfortunately, when I tried to gem install net-ping I got the following error:

Answer 1

Use from source

gem "net-ping", :git => 'git://github.com/djberg96/net-ping.git'
# bundle install
