Hi, I am getting an error when i tried to install watir on my windows 7 machine. Please help!
1) I have installed ruby186-27_rc2 from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives. 2) ran the following commands in the command prompt. gem update --system gem install watir the gem update --system command worked fine. But the gem install watir command gave me the following error. C:\Users\sridhar.bulusu.REPLICON>gem install watir Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing watir: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for strncpy_s()... no creating Makefile nmake 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-api-1.4. 7 for inspection. Results logged to C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-api-1.4.7/ext/gem_make.out I tried uninstalling ruby and reinstalling it many times. But it is not solving my issue. Prior to installing ruby186-27_rc2 i installed Ruby 1.9.1-p429<http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71495/rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p429.exe> from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/archives. And then i found that Ruby 1.9.1-p429<http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71495/rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p429.exe> is not what i want. So, i uninstalled Ruby 1.9.1-p429<http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/71495/rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p429.exe> and installed ruby186-27_rc2. I don't know if that is causing me all the problems. Please suggest a solution. Thanks! -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
