Thanks! But I can't seem install this library. Following the readme I 
was trying to build the library; the regular make give the following 
error:
Makefile:127: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.

The nmake give the following error:

Stop.

nmake /I takes me this far apparently with no error:

But nmake /I install gives me the following errors:

Any one else has encounter this issue? For now I have moved away from 
Ruby and implemented my stuff using Python, pyserial and wxpython; that 
works like a champ.

Thanks
