datastore.upload issue

[jasonbrooks]

With rvc version 1.3.6 (also experienced this w/ v 1.3.4), uploading a file from my 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 client to a vmfs datastore gives this error:

NoMethodError: undefined method spawn' for #<RbVmomi::VIM::Datastore:0x7f2ce01bdf50> /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rbvmomi-1.2.3/lib/rbvmomi/vim/Datastore.rb:44:inupload'

I ran into this too.. need ruby 1.9 for the Kernel.spawn method. btw: highly recommend using rvm if you don't want to install 1.9 system wide.

OK, updating my ruby to 1.9.1 addressed this for me -- I don't have any reason not to be on 1.9.1, other than this is the default pkg on ubuntu.
