Please help - newbie questions

I am using windows, and I installed ruby with the 1-click install
My ruby version is: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

I need to use ruby to make some XSLT transformations (I already have
the XML and XSLT files).

I understand that before installing libxml wrapper and libxslt, i have
to install Libxml from http://xmlsoft.org.

So I downloaded both

  • libxslt-1.1.14+.win32.zip
  • libxml2-2.6.20.win32.zip
    from Index of /pub/libxml/ then unzipped the contents.

But what now ? I have no idea what to do with this all.

Alex Netkachev explains that the libxml wrapper library depends on
libm, libz (zlib), libiconv and libxml2.
(http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?AlexNetkachev).
Do I have to first install evrrything separately ? Is there an easy way
to make things right ?

… I am confused
If someone can explain me how i can use ruby to make XSLT transforms,
it would be great help.
