Well, have you setup nmake, or Visual Studio 6? This looks like parts of the compiler toolchain is missing (maybe the C linker?). Keep in mind: Ruby has been moved off Visual Studio since 1.8.7 (and 1.8.6 will be phased out of support in a while!), using an easily available compiler toolchain (and a Dev Package that makes it trivial to install gems requiring native extensions, as long as those extensions are well written). -- Phillip Gawlowski A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start, and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.                -- Leibnitz
