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.

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,
Peter

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. :-)
