Ah, I see that there is no C code in the ext directory of the
faster_rubygems code: GitHub - rdp/faster_rubygems: A helper to dramatically speedup the time it takes to run a 'require rubygems'. DEPRECATED shouldn't be necessary with newer versions of rubygems, at least I hope not. If it is message me so I can work on this again

It looks like a problem with spaces in the path to your IronRuby
install.
“C:\Program FIles” is not being properly escaped, and the script chokes.
http://github.com/rdp/faster_rubygems

The offending line is auto generated by rubygems for me (1.3.7).
I am unsure how the other poster found success for his, though. That is
odd.

Seems pretty clear to me that it is a path interpolation problem. “Could
not
find file ‘C:\Program’”. Doesn’t seem to like the space in the directory
name.

True, but I’m not seeing this reproduce (granted I’m trying on a 64-bit
machine, but that shouldn’t make a difference). Can you list what
envvars you have set?

Unable to install gems 1.3.7 to try that, for some reason…

I’m really not sure why it would succeed on others’ computers. Note
that it’s a quite experimental gem so you may want to use it on a
throw-away computer.

Note also that if you do install it, try running “rake” or whatever you
want before and after–it “should” give a substantial speed increase
over the normal rubygems startup time, but I’m unable to test that on IR
without being able to install…
