Hi Zach,
The problem is that there''s a bug in gems with regards to C extensions,
module/class style hierarchies, and the $LOAD_PATH. I confirmed this
with Chad Fowler at RubyConf 2005. So, until that bug is fixed, I
don''t
want to create any gems. This is not specific to Windows, either.
One of my post-RubyConf goals is to fix this bug. :)
Regards,
Dan
