The raspell Ruby wrapper for the ASPELL utility is very easy to install under Linux. Unfortunately, I am using raspell for an example in a Ruby book that I am writing and some readers will be using Windows instead of more reasonable options like Linux or OS X :-) The only way that I can get raspell installed under Windows is to install CYGWIN with gcc and perl, then install ruby under CYGWIN, then install aspell, then raspell. This is **way** too much effort for a casual reader to go through. Does anyone have a short and easy way to get ASPELL + raspell installed under a standard Ruby install with Windows? Thanks in advance for any information, Mark
