Hi, I am trying to install curb on my windows machine. I went through a few web pages directing to install it. I installed curl-7.19.6 binary and provided the path in the environment variables. I can now use the curl command line. Then I went on to installing curb using the gem install curb. It gave me the following error. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>gem install curb Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing curb: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install curb checking for curl-config... no checking for main() in curl.lib... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.
