Hello Ian,
I guess, you can install gems, but not those which have extensions
written in C, since this implies that you need a C-compiler etc. On Linux
you always have gcc and gem can build those extensions. Pure ruby gems
should work, if they do not depend on other gems, which use a C-
extension. Have you tried this?
BTW: This is not a ruby problem, perl suffers from the same problem on
windows. StrawberryPerl is one approach to solve this problem. I would
like to see a StrawberryRuby ;-)
