Hi,
I'm trying to install libxml-ruby on Windows, and am having a problem. It
seems that this has happened to several other people but the issue has never
been resolved (at least the solution has never been posted).
The command line output is below, but here's the gist. Apparently the
inflate() method can't be found in zlib. I see zlib1.dll in C:\ruby\bin\,
but just to be sure I downloaded the zlib DLL and copied it to
C:\Windows\System. Got the same result, so I explicitly specified the path
to the library with the following command:
C:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p111\ext\zlib>ruby extconf.rb
--with-zlib-lib=c:\Files\in
stallers\zlib\ --with-zlib-include=c:\Files\installers\zlib\include
The only difference there was that it couldn't find the deflateReset()
method.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone installed libxml-ruby on Windows
successfully?
Thanks,
