No, all the version of mongrel are build with VC6, so the http11 extension is linked to MSVCRT.dll, and not MSVCR80.dll can you try this on a IRB console? irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):003:0> require 'mongrel' => true irb(main):004:0> Mongrel::Const::MONGREL_VERSION => "1.1.2" If you don't get the msgbox in that process is because mongrel isn't responsible for that. If you get, I'll suggest you remove the mongrel gem and clean install it again. > > I know.

Ruby, by itself, didn't showed my troubles neither. But some of the "popular libraries" have them, mostly because some developers ignores other platforms (part of their elitism or ignorance). I use Rails on a daily basis to deploy to linux servers, all without glitches (trust me: noone). ssh to some server? no problem. have all your ssh keys? no problem (pageant, putty ssh agent). Anyway, I found no problems using Rails on Windows, except those plugins from some developers that didn't care about good/fair usage of resources or the true nature of ruby a being cross-platform language. -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
