Hi, I am trying to install libxml on windows ruby from gem file [1], and though install output suggests install was successful with "1 gem installed", in the build.log it says "rake aborted! No Rakefile found (looking for: build.rake).
Assuming install worked nonetheless, when I try to require 'libxml' [2], it reports that libxml_ruby.so could not be found, even though it does actually exist, although it's only 209KB. Ideas anyone? New to ruby, so not exactly sure why there's a rake error logged when gem apparently installed, and also why it's reported the .so file doesn't exist when it does. Incidentally, I tried running rake in the directory C:\Ruby200\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\libxml-ruby-1.1.3-x86-mswin32-60, but it appears to attempt to execute unix commands, and fails needless to say on: tar zcvf libxml-ruby-1.1.3.tgz libxml-ruby-1.1.3 rake aborted! Command failed with status (127): [tar zcvf libxml-ruby-1.1.3.tgz libxml-ruby...] Jason [1] Gem install output ------------------------------- C:\Downloads>gem install libxml-ruby-1.1.3-x86-mswin32-60.gem Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
