The problem is that mongrel depends on win32-service >= 0.5.0 We (Zed and I) hacked a gem of win32-service for 0.5.0, but win32utils guys start distributing a source only version of 0.5.2 (which requires compilers to build it). Since that, rubyforge removed the pre-build gem made by us. A workaround that problem is: Download the service.so from the win32utils project (service-0.5.2-vc6.so): http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85&release_id=8093 Renamed it to "service.so" and place it into: C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\win32-service-0.5.2\lib\win32 THEN, install mongrel gem. Hope we resolve that "issue" for the next release, removing the dependency on the service gem. > Oddly, I had no problem installing earlier on a Win 2K machine. Is > there something special about XP?

They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
