@KaushikV I am facing a similar issue, and I as wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem? Were you running on a Windows machine? Thanks!

I believe you can fix this by upgrading your Ruby version to at least the latest patch level.—

@meltingice Thanks, I will give that a try.

The output of ruby --version is ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08) [x64-mingw32] which I believe is the most up to date patch of this version of Ruby Is that right?

I have just used a friends Mac, and I did the exact same test, and it worked on his machine without any problems. Looks like this is an issue specifically with Windows. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

This is still going on with ruby version 2.1.1.6p336. Tried various updates, different configs to no avail. However, it seems to be a problem with the flickraw library. I've been able to repro the issue using one of the flickraw samples.
