Hi,

I am trying to install Watir 1.6.5 on Ruby 1.9.1, but this is the
issue. I am encountering:

E:\>gem install watir
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing watir:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

E:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
checking for strncpy_s()... *** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --without-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=E:/Ruby19/bin/ruby

You have to install development tools first.
