Subject: Racc fails on install

Hi all,

I am very new to ruby but have got things up and running. I'm now trying
to install racc and am hitting a serious problem which I can't resolve.

I'm running Windows XP and Ruby 186-26 and have updated to the lastest
RubyGems.

When I run P:\>gem install c:racc-1.4.6.gem, I get back...

   Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
   ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
       Error instaling c:racc-1.4.6.gem:
           ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

   ruby extconf.rb install c:racc-1.4.6.gem
   extconf.rb:3:in ``': No such file or directory - uname -p
(Errno::ENOENT)
           from extconf.rb:3

   Gem files will remain installed in
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/racc-1.4.6 for inspection.
   Results logged to C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/racc
1.4.6/ext/racc/cparse/gem_make.out

I'm at a bit of a loss here and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Gordon
