Subject: Re: Serial Port Control with Ruby win32serial-0.5

You don't have nmake.
Get nmake on http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084
And follow the steps again.

There is another library for serial port:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-serialport/
That's work fine with me.
