Heroku app crashes with 'libruby.so.1.9: cannot open shared object file' [closed]

Question

I've never had problems deploying this app but I've just pushed and now I'm getting this weird error, which is deep enough in the stack that it's not even getting sent to Airbrake. I have a feeling it might be a problem at Heroku's end, possibly relating to https://status.heroku.com/incidents/450? What do you think?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue but with kgio (2.7.4) gem. After running out of ideas, I just deleted the heroku app and recreated. The problem disappeared.
