[ruby-talk:00848] Re: Ruby on Windows NT, anybody?

Arima,

Thanks. Oops I forgot to mention...
The funny thing is that there is *no notepad running*!
(I can't see any, either in the opened windows or
in the running processes in Windows Task Manager...)

Has anybody has been able to make notepad run using
the ruby system() call on Windows NT?
I may be something in my configuration...
But before I reinstall my system from scratch, I would
like to know if there are people out there who have gotten
this to work. :-(

Note: this is the most simple test I tried, but the test
script sample\test.rb installed with ruby also fails on the
backquote calls:
  check "system"
  ok(`echo foobar` == "foobar\n")
  ok(`./miniruby -e 'print "foobar"'` == 'foobar')
(It fails even if I change "echo foobar" and "./miniruby"
to things that make sense under NT.)
Also, in the shttpsrv-1.0.4 package (great stuff BTW),
the cgi features don't work either, I suspect it is because
of the same problem.

Maybe if Satoshi ([e-mail]) can tell me exactly what
software (compiler, libraries etc.) he used to compile the
binaries at http://www.sugihara.com/ruby/ I could take a look
under the hood?
