Hi, I am currently trying to install watir on my PC but currently hitting the errors below and I cannot think why this is happening?
I am following the steps below to install: Download ruby 1.9.2: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ Install. Download RubyGems: http://rubygems.org/pages/download Install. Download the DevKit so that native extensions can be built: ruby dk.rb init ruby dk.rb review ruby dk.rb install gem update --system (or to do more quickly: gem update --system --no- rdoc --no-ri) gem install watir Whaend I do this all I get is the error log below. Does anyone know how I can get Watir to install please? ANY HELP GREATFULLY RECEIVED!!!!
