From: Ramesh Ramloll Date: 2002-11-28T13:16:44+09:00 Subject: Re: RUDL install problems on win32 Hi Bill, Thanks for the dependency walker tool tip. I managed to find out what the problem is. The version of RUDL.so I have depends on mswin32-ruby17.dll. In my installation of ruby which is the 'one click installation stuff from the Pragmaticprogramming.com site' I have msvcrt-ruby17.dll Has anyone got the proper dll which I could just try to put in the ruby\bin folder? I found an mswin32-ruby16.dll from somewhere but predictably got a segmentation fault while trying to run the sample examples. Thanks again Bill, this tool is a great find.
