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.
Hmm, the 1.9.3 version I have here is 752kb. What version of Ruby?
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...]
What rake command? Might be trying to build the gem which would require
mingw installed which provides a unix like environment on windows.
