> Where is Ruby installed on your system? Ruby is installed in the default folder: C:\Ruby192 Devkit is installed in 'C:\DevKit' (I merely followed the example from the website with Devkit instructions.) > Does the config.yml file > generated by the DevKit setup match your installed Ruby? I'm not sure what you mean by that but I tried opening the config.yml file found in 'C:\DevKit' with SciTE and this is what it says: # This configuration file contains the absolute path locations of all # installed Rubies to be enhanced to work with the DevKit. This config # file is generated by the 'ruby dk.rb init' step and may be modified # before running the 'ruby dk.rb install' step. To include any installed # Rubies that were not automagically discovered, simply add a line below # the triple hyphens with the absolute path to the Ruby root directory. # # Example: # # --- # - C:/ruby19trunk # - C:/ruby192dev # --- - C:/Ruby192 > Do you have the operating_system.rb file as mentioned in step 4? Does it > look right? I can't find the operating_system.rb file. From Step 4: "finally, ruby dk.rb install to DevKit enhance your installed Rubies. This step installs (or updates) an operating_system.rb file into the relevant directory needed to implement a RubyGems pre_install hook..." I don't even know what the 'relevant directory' is. If it's the C:\DevKit directory, operating_system.rb is NOT there. >If you're not sure, you could try posting that and your > devkit.rb file here so we can review them. In C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\site_ruby , there is a devkit.rb , opened it with SciTE, contents are: # enable RubyInstaller DevKit usage as a vendorable helper library unless ENV['PATH'].include?('C:\\DevKit\\mingw\\bin') then puts 'Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...' ENV['PATH'] = 'C:\\DevKit\\bin;C:\\DevKit\\mingw\\bin;' + ENV['PATH'] end Thanks so much for your patience guys =) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
