Subject: Errors installing RedCloth 4.0 on Windows XP

I tried installing/upgrading RedCloth to 4.0 on this Windows XP box, but
it throws an error while installing. The machine's got Visual Studio
2003 and 2005 installed, and I tried making sure the PATH was set to
each environment and neither works. The errors are:

C:\Documents and Settings\me>gem install RedCloth
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing RedCloth:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
