cl is the MS compiler for the C language. Normally, open source stuff provides a windows binary. I just ran into a similar situation with ruby-debug. The ruby-debug gem wants a specific version of the C compiler. Exactly version 1200, which should be 12.0, I think. fredistic --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
