Yes, I can install pre-built gems, and have installed these: Watir RSpec ..but if I want to make sure they're updated, I run into numerous errors. After a search for stdio.h, I find it in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include So, I *do* have the include header file, I'm just unsure as to where ruby *requires* it to be. There shouldn't be that much of a dramatic difference between VC6 and VC9 header files (though, I could be wrong, with revision updates/method changes) - but I *do* have the file... ...which brings me back to my original problem: How do I fix the issue, without *having* to install VC 6? And how can I address the other issue of the Zlib error, after upgrading to rails 1.2 or dropping nmaker into the ruby bin? (Both of these reproduce the Zlib error... ...rails 1.1.1 works fine, save for the stdio.h error) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
