Hello, I need to install my application to a Windows server (using MSSQL as the DB) and to make my life easier I am freezing the application. I have been able to freeze rails and unpack all the gems I need (including activerecord-sqlserver-adapter) except for one: ruby-odbc
I can install the gem the regular way, which DevKit builds correctly. I can run the application with the gem "in the open". Then when I unpack the gem everything seems to work, I get the message "Unpacked gem: ‘C:/Pepe/Code/RoR/afm/vendor/gems/ruby-odbc-0.99992’", but after I uninstall the 'regular' gem and try to start Mongrel: C:\Pepe\Code\RoR\afm>ruby script/server => Booting Mongrel => Rails 2.3.5 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 C:/Pepe/Code/RoR/afm/config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/ gem_dependency.rb :119:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version_requirements is deprecated and will be rem oved on or after August 2010.

I am probably missing something obvious but I haven't been able to figure it out. How can I unpack ruby-odbc correctly? Any clues?
