For some reason the install process had trouble installing the extensions. The problem goes away when I explicitly specified the install directory. So I am wondering if --- make install prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw --- resolves your problem. Another thing to look at is that install process might fail in creating the necessary directories in which case creating them by hand might help. /Christoph
