How to Install RedCloth on Windows? The usual way fails: >gem install RedCloth Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing RedCloth: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb creating Makefile make ''make'' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RedCloth-4.2.2 for inspection. Results logged to C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/RedCloth-4.2.2/ext/redcloth_sca n/gem_make.out I tried with Cygwin, but I think I messed up the Cygwin install or setup, since $ gem install RedCloth Gives: C:\Ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /cygdrive/c/Ruby/bin/gem <LoadError> I issued gem install RedCloth on Linux and it worked. I copied the files, but I can?t use them on windows. Since NetBeans IDE gives Missing these required gems: RedCloth Other gems work. Only RedCloth does not. Any idea what to do?

Thanks a lot, I tried with Cygwin, but this is a lot easier, and work. Why I had to do the hard way?! Thanks again, Problem solved.

You might say something about the specific version(s) you were using: of Windows, Ruby, anything else? I installed the RedCloth gem *with no problems* a few months ago - on a Windows 2000 system - with Ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] Because I wanted to use webby, I installed the webby gem first: gem install webby gem install RedCloth The version of RedCloth? The directory in the gems/1.8 dir is named RedCloth-4.2.2-x86-mswin32-60 The directories are dated 2009-09-19, files 2009-09-21 So, this is my non-bug report. :-) W.
