This is kind of funny, because when rubygems 0.9.5 came out, it appeared that I was now _required_ to compile native gems on Windows and that is when I finally made sure that nmake would work to completion and actually compile stuff. It sounds like you're saying that I should have waited for the pre-compiled gems to get fixed :). > A mac is expensive, and will not remove the whole pain of using > Ruby... check some of the Leopard nightmares around the web ;-) It's true. But given that, in my experience, many gem and plugin developers test little to not at all on Windows, the Mac is the "platform of least surprise". Although I've been able to solve all of my Windows-specific Ruby issues eventually, I am just tired of having to spend time and energy doing that.
