To summarize options:
- Linux VM in VirtualBox (ubuntu, fedora, centOS, etc.)
- Groovy (dynamic JVM language) is an excellent cross-platform option,
one I use daily. Especially if you are coming from a Java background.
The Groovy web framework comparable to rails is "Grails".

DevKit is a MingW/MSYS wrapper for Windows Ruby development. It might not

I know you cut them out earlier, but would you mind sending some of the C

It's probably also possible to get these working within Cygwin. Assuming the
libraries you need to compile against are available in Cygwin, of course.

If you see something about C-extensions, it's because the library is not
written in pure Ruby, it is a wrapper around a library written in C. Your
system may not have the C compiler or some of the libraries needed to
compile or link the extension.

My *guess* is (and more sophisticated Rubyists can chime in and tell me I'm
wrong) is that the gems that are failing on your Windows install are the
gems that have Unix-ish dependencies -- e.g., the Blather gem wants to
compile something in C and is looking for gcc or make or something you
don't ha
I don't think anyone really develops, or deploys Ruby on Windows so nobody
probably tests any Gems on Windows. Hopefully someone here is an exception and
can help you.
You could run a local headless Linux VM and SSH into it...

I am attempting to write my first small Ruby app, but I am running into
major problems just getting off the ground developing in Windows. I
downloaded the most recent Ruby 2.0 package from RubyInstaller. Then I
installed DevKit so I could use gems. After some fiddling, I was finally
able to install
