From: Robert Hicks Date: 2006-09-01T03:30:32+09:00 Subject: gem question When I go to install sqlite3-ruby on Windows XP, I am faced with a list of version numbers and version types (mswin or rb): Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-mswin32) 1. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (mswin32) 2. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (ruby) 3. sqlite3-ruby 1.0.1 (mswin32) 4. sqlite3-ruby 1.0.1 (ruby) 5. sqlite3-ruby 1.0.0 (ruby) 6. sqlite3-ruby 1.0.0 (mswin32) 7. sqlite3-ruby 0.9.0 (mswin32) 8. sqlite3-ruby 0.9.0 (ruby) 9. sqlite3-ruby 0.6.0 (ruby) 10. sqlite3-ruby 0.5.0 (ruby) 11. Cancel installation I am guessing that the ruby ones are just that "pure" ruby and the mswin32 ones are platform specific (maybe compiled?). Which should I choose? Robert
