Subject: Using Ruby under  Windows

Hi,

I installed version  1.67 from
http://www.rubycentral.com/downloads/ruby-install.html. Most things
work fine. But I don't know how to import libraries.

I tried the library mwdom from
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?id=661.
There are examples which require "xmlscan". When I run these files
(ruby parsetest.rb) , I just get the following error:
 parsetest.rb:1:in `require': No such file to load -- xmlscan
(LoadError)
from test.rb:1

So I have to install xmlscan. The readme-file tells me "Copy
lib/xmlscan directory in this distribution to site_ruby".  Where do I
have to place libraries exactly?
I try C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\xmlscan - same error
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.6\xmlscan - and so on...
I just don't know where and how Ruby searches for libraries. Do I have
to set environment variables? Or set the full path in the
require-statement?

Thanks for help!

Sebastian
