"No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen" using OpenURI

I've recently run into a problem using OpenURI. Every open method results in the following error:

"No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen".

My code looks simply like the following:

data = open("http://google.ca/")

I noticed the error shortly after adding gem 'nokogiri' to my Gemfile and running bundle install, though I have no indication of whether or not this caused the problem and have since removed the entry with no positive impact on the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Try to write require 'open-uri' before your code.
