Hi, I am trying to install postgres in windows xp using Gem install postgres But it error out. The gem_make.out file lists the following message ruby extconf.rb install postgres checking for cygwin32_socket() in wsock32.lib... no checking for socket() in socket.lib... no checking for gethostbyname() in inet.lib... no checking for gethostbyname() in nsl.lib... no checking for sys/un.h... no checking for socket()... no checking for cygwin32_socket()... no I guess some libraries is missing but I don''t know what I should install. Could anyone help me out? Thanks chong
