First it gives me this error: D:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\ruby-serialport\test>ruby miniterm.rb miniterm.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- ../serialport.so (LoadError) from miniterm.rb:1:in `<main>' So I find 'serialport.so' from here http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=61&release_id=30322. The file called 'serialport_win32.zip'. I put the 'serialport.so' file in the D:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\ruby-serialport folder and then I get this windows pop-up error again: 'The application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.' I don't quite understand where I am going wrong. Is there some kind of updated 'serialport.so' that I need? Thanks for the help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
