Subject: eruby + Win2K + apache 2.x setup problems

I am having problems getting eruby, apache 2.x and Win2K to play
together nicely.  I have eruby in the path and the following lines in
my httpd.conf file:

AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
Action application/x-httpd-eruby /cgi-bin/eruby.exe

I have tested several variations of the 'Action' line, apache always
thinks that it is a directory.  For example, the above setup would
look at /cgi-bin/eruby/index.rhtml for the file when I request
http://127.0.0.1/index.rhtml .

I can run eruby with the .rhtml from the command line and get it
working fine, the .rhtml looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>eruby test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>eruby test</h1>
<p>
<% print "hello world" %>
current time: <%= Time.now %>
<%# this is a comment line. %>
% print "this is one liner.\n"
</p>
</body>
</html>

I have set this up before on Linux, but this environment needs to be
Win2K.  I was unable to compile eruby as a .so under Cygwin, there was
an error saying it could not be compiled that way on Windows.  Because
of all the compiling problems I just pulled a binary off of the
Internet.

Anyone have pointers they would be willing to share?

Thanks,

Wayne
