Hello, Brian, thank you by your answer. The questions is, that i don't know how to make what you're saying. Please watch my operating system is Windoes-Xp, and when y tried to directly execute fcgi.rb in ruby , always i get the next error: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:11:in `trap': unsupported signal SIGPIPE (ArgumentError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fcgi.rb:11 from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from -:3 I have tried to install over Ruby19, but things have been even worse.So i have returned to install Ruby-1.86 (In Ruby1.9.1 i can't start mongrel_rails and always get a buffer or cache error). I have observed that one difference between an installed gem and a uninstalled is that in C.\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\specifications, in case of a installed gem exist the corr file to the extension gem and in case of uninstalled don't. Please. if you can show me how to install the pure fcgi.rb in a way that it work for Apache2.2 in Windows-Xp, i will thank you so much. Javier Abaroa.
