I'm running the One click installer, Ruby 1.8.2-14_rc9 on my Win2K box,
and I decided to do somethings with the Win32Api, but when I load it I get:

LoadError: 127: The specified procedure could not be found. -
Init_Win32Api
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/Win32Api.so
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/Win32Api.so
from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `require'

Anyone else having this issue? Thanks,

Zach

The file is "Win32API.so". The filenames are not case insensitive.

This might be because the one-click installer is built with vc++ 7, and the
win32 stuff might have been built with vc++ 6. Daniel Berger reported
something similar, and Shashank Date verified that the problem went away
when the win32 stuff was rebuilt with the free vc++ 7.

You need to do
require 'Win32API'
not
require 'Win32Api'

When you use the wrong case, Ruby still finds the library because you're
using a case-insensitive filesystem, but then uses the wrong Init_Foo
function.
