I just installed a ruby 2.2.1 and got this warning when I ran bundle install: 

DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle

I came to this question and found the code they pointed out in rbreadline.rb line 4367.

if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9.1'
      require 'Win32API'
    else
      require 'dl'
      class Win32API
        DLL = {}
        TYPEMAP = {"0" => DL::TYPE_VOID, "S" => DL::TYPE_VOIDP, "I" => DL::TYPE_LONG}

I then added the require 'irb' line next to the require 'dl' line as they suggested but this did not remove the warning for me. I realize this may only be a warning but I do not want to comment out the message only to have other problems spring up latter. How do I fix this?

There was a broken version of RubyInstaller that was distributed for about 5 hours.

There were only about 800 downloads of it before someone caught it, but it appears that you are running one of those downloads.

Sorry about that.

Check out the mailing list announcement for more details.

The fix is to re-install using the fixed distribution.

  • Yeah, the crash only manifests with an interactive shell, like `irb`, but a broken release is broken. – Azolo Mar 16 '15 at 21:09
