This is probably a newbie question but are there any issues with using
certain gems on Windows XP?
=20
I'm running the InstantRails 1.1a and have been trying to experiment
with some of the gems.
=20
Specifically I'm trying to use midilib and pdf-writer.  I've installed
both via=20
=20
gem install midilib
gem install pdf-writer --include-dependencies
=20
and both installed successfully as expected and pdf-writer also prompted
and installed the dependant gems as needed.  However if I then go into
an irb session I get false returned when trying to require them.
=20
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=3D> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'midilib'
=3D> false
irb(main):003:0> require 'pdf/writer'
=3D> false
irb(main):004:0>
=20
=20
The other gems I have tried have all worked as expected and returned
true when requiring them in this fashion.  Can anyone point me in the
right direction as to what I am / have done wrong?
=20
Perhaps they are just not compatible with irb?  I say this only because
the pdf-writer demo.rb file (once modified to require 'rubygems') runs
without error when doing ruby demo.rb.
