UUIDTools error

I have an app that's been running fine for 6 months and suddenly part of it is broken.  I have code that uses UUIDTools to generate a GUID

suddendy it stopped working and throws the following errors:

StandardError (MAC address could not be autodetected.  Set the MAC address manually.):
   /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/uuidtools-1.0.3/lib/uuidtools.rb:241:in `timestamp_create'
   /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/uuidtools-1.0.3/lib/uuidtools.rb:229:in `synchronize'
   /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/uuidtools-1.0.3/lib/uuidtools.rb:229:in `timestamp_create'
   /vendor/plugins/shared_models/lib/user.rb:202:in `set_token'

any ideas how to fix that and what may have caused it?

uuidtools (1.0.3, 1.0.1)

It looks like the version of uuidtools was upgraded and I'd imagine that did it.  You may be able to fix this by freezing uuidtools 1.0.1 in your app and that should do it.


cd RAILS_ROOT/vendor

gem unpack uuidtools -v=1.0.1
