I am using windows, and I installed ruby with the 1-click install My ruby version is: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] I need to use ruby to make some XSLT transformations (I already have the XML and XSLT files). I understand that before installing libxml wrapper and libxslt, i have to install Libxml from http://xmlsoft.org. So I downloaded both - libxslt-1.1.14+.win32.zip - libxml2-2.6.20.win32.zip from http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/ then unzipped the contents. But what now ? I have no idea what to do with this all. Alex Netkachev explains that the libxml wrapper library depends on libm, libz (zlib), libiconv and libxml2. (http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?AlexNetkachev). Do I have to first install evrrything separately ? Is there an easy way to make things right ? .... I am confused If someone can explain me how i can use ruby to make XSLT transforms, it would be great help.
