The problem is that the $? global variable is not being set after a command has been executed. Furthermore, the problem occurs in the gem_extconf.rb file because the "exitstatus" method is not used anywhere else in the rest of the source code. Now, let us see whether this is a problem with Ruby on Vista. Please run the following command: ruby -e 'system("dir"); p $? => $?.exitstatus' If this command works, then I will rewrite the source code in the gem_extconf.rb file and give you a new gem to try installing. Thanks for your cooperation.
