The twitter open source code looks simple and fun - http://github.com/mzsanford/twitter-text-rb
However, it seems I need to install unicode support. On Linux, I was able to, though on Windows 7, I don't have nmake (don't have C++). Anyways, it still complains about setting $KCODE to utf8 or u (or using the -KU command line switch). I tried both but can't seem to make it work. Which gem do I need for unicode, and how can I set it programmatically? I tried ideas like this: require 'rubygems' require 'unicode' $KCODE = 'KU' -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
