Hi,

I recently tried to make tcltklib.dll work on Win32 and had a similar problem.

Might be you need a Unix shell (e.g. cygnus bash) to make the Cygnus version
of Ruby work?

Notice the Unix path in the error message. Also somewhere in the Ruby
distribution
matz mentions it's only tested with bash as shell.

What I did for tcltklib.dll is to modify the extension so that it compiles
cleanly
using the "native" Windows Ruby (/mswin32/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM). After that I
compiled it with VC++ and everything went ok. I'll post the modified files
for the
1.4.4 distribution someday soon.

Regards,
Ernesto.
