I can access the same environment Sirisha used. I also made some "upgrades" there, without success. The output of 'gem env': ==================== RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.6 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i386-mswin32] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: d:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: d:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: d:/Ruby/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-mswin32-60 - GEM PATHS: - d:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - d:/profiles/v-zpenzeli/.gem/ruby/1.8 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/ ====================== The interesting thing is, that rake complains about missing Rakefile... and indeed, the Rakefile is not under ../lib but under ../libxml-ruby-1.1.3-x86-mswin32-60 - I'm getting clueless... :( Regards, Zoltan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
