Yep. I have a GUI app that uses Ruby XMLRPC that I have running on
Windows 2000/XP as well as on Embedded Linux (in this case a Sharp
Zaurus SL-5500 PDA). For some reason I think my Ruby binary install
(version 1.8.1 for Pocket PC ARM processors) is missing something.
Simple Drb scripts, XMLRPC scripts, etc. pasted from tutorial websites
all error out on the Dell Axim handheld I'm working on.

I have ordered Microsoft Extended Visual C++ 4.0 on CD and when I get
it I will try to compile Ruby from source code on the Dell Axim. That
should give me a clean starting point for trying to port my application
over to the Windows Mobile platform. If I can get this completed then I
should have my bases covered. My app will run on Linux, Embedded Linux,
Windows, and Windows Mobile. We'll see how it goes...
