Hey Folks, This is a quick release that fixes a major bug. I forgot to require the timeout library properly in mongrel.rb so people using Mongrel outside of Rails would see pauses. 0.3.3 fixes this all up. The 0.3.3 release also has a small change to the examples/simpletest.rb file with some gzip response using Ruby’s zlib support. Curious what people think about this and whether it works for them. You can grab this release of Mongrel from: - [http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/) - [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=1306](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1306) Or just do gem install mongrel (or update if you’ve already installed it).

Let me work on the pre-built win32 gem. Other folks have done this but it seems to involve a bit of black magic. Zed A. Shaw > **[Zed A. shaw](https://zedshaw.com/)** > > Personal essays and writings by Zed A. Shaw. ---

Install failure on windows 2000. I ran gem install mongrel, which gave me an Unknow directory – mmake error. Not to be discoruaged. I downloaded and installed MS C compiler (VStoolkit), then grabbed the .gz file from rubyforge. When I unzipped and untar’d it, I could find nothing to compile. Are there instructions somewhere on how to comipile and install Mongrel on a w2k platform? I’m a novice at compiling on windows. Or will there be binaries avalable soon??? -Larry On 2/14/06, Zed S.

OK, I’ll try to be patient. I don’t really have a burning need for it right this minute. It’s just that I reading so many good things about Mongrel, that I feel I must be missing something really cool! -Larry On 2/14/06, Zed S.

I sent Zed a patch that builds win32 gems earlier today. The next release should have a binary version for those of us stuck on Windows. ---

Hi Larry, I’ve prepared a binary build for you, if you want to try. It’s not a GEM package so you just unzip it in your ruby directory and it should work. Build with MSVC [2003.net](http://2003.net) with Ruby 1.8.4 Let me know if it works for you… ---

Here’s a GEM I just made for those who cant wait… Bear with me this is my first GEM. Gael
