Chris:

Some obvious questions:

1. Are you linking to the Ruby .lib file of the distribution you are
compiling against (<platform>-ruby1x.lib), usually located in your
<root>/lib directory?
2. ruby.h is located in every distribution's <root>/lib/ruby/1.x/<platform>/
directory. Does your compiler "know" this? (is that directory included in
the compiler options)?

Seems to me point 1 is the more likely problem.

% I followed the examples in the online rubycentral.com/book

% This makes me think the ruby.h header file isn't being included for some

% Is there anything I'm missing that should be painfully obvious?
