Hi all, also posted this message here (http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php? thread_id=49785&forum_id=9503), but afterwards I found this group and think it is more suitable to ask that question in this group!
I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 and try to get RoR to work for the last three days. Basically I did the following 1) Installed Ruby 1.9.2 with Ruby installer 2) Installed gem 3) Installed rails 3.0.7 4) installed DB2 with gem install ibm_db When I enetered irb and executed the command "require 'ibm_db'" as suggested here http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.apdv.ruby.doc/doc/t0052765.html I got an error, that the DB2CLI.dll is missing, so I did some internet research and found out here that the installation of "IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI (Windows/x86-64 64 bit) V9.7 Fix Pack 4" is necessary. So I installed it but the error message still appeared, so I manually copied "C:\db2_cli_odbc_driver\clidriver\bin" to "C: \Ruby192\bin" When I executed the command "require 'ibm_db'" again, the following error message appeared: irb(main):001:0> require 'ibm_db' LoadError: 14001: The application has failed to start because its side- by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the comma nd-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. - C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/ 1.9.1/gems/ibm_db-2.5.6-x86-mingw32/lib/mswin32/rb19x/ibm_db.so from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 59:in `require' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 59:in `rescue in require' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 35:in `require' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ibm_db-2.5.6-x86-mingw32/lib/ mswin32/ibm_db.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 36:in `require' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 36:in `require' from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ibm_db-2.5.6-x86-mingw32/lib/ IBM_DB.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `require' from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `rescue in require' from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require' from (irb):1 from C:/Ruby192/bin/irb:12:in `<main>' irb(main):002:0> I also installed VC_redist 2005 and 2010. I hope that anybody can help me with that problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
