Team,

I am trying to install RRDtool under MS Windows/XP.
I tried to install the gem and got the following errors:

C:\$user\downloads\Ruby and Friends>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\$user\downloads\Ruby and Friends>gem install RubyRRDtool-0.6.0.gem
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    Error instaling RubyRRDtool-0.6.0.gem:

'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Gem files will remain installed in
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyRRDtool-0.6.0 for inspection.
Results logged to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RubyRRDtool-0.6.0
/gem_make.out

I then tried the binary distribution (

 rrdtool-1.2.27-w32.zip
<http://www.gknw.net/mirror/rrdtool/rrdtool-1.2.27-w32.zip>
       06-Mar-2008 02:24  1.0M  ZIP compressed archive) for Windows.

But when I try the sample pgm I get the error listed below.
