As said in the title I am using windows 2000 and cannot get ruby-fcgi 0.8.7or 0.8.6 to install. Hopefully someone has gotten this working by now. In the mailing list the only thing I could find was unanswered posts from 2 years ago. TIA 0.8.7 gives: C:\ruby-fcgi\>ruby install.rb config —\> lib \<— lib —\> ext —\> ext/fcgi c:/ruby/bin/ruby C:/ruby-fcgi/ext/fcgi/extconf.rb install.rb:656:in `command': system("c:\\ruby\\bin\\ruby" "C:/ruby-fcgi/ext/fcgi/extconf.rb") failed (RuntimeError) from install.rb:661:in`ruby’ from install.rb:1237:in `extconf' from install.rb:1233:in`config\_dir\_ext’ from install.rb:1498:in `traverse' from install.rb:1515:in`dive\_into’ from install.rb:1496:in `traverse' from install.rb:1500:in`traverse’ from install.rb:1499:in `traverse' from install.rb:1515:in`dive\_into’ from install.rb:1496:in `traverse' from install.rb:1490:in`exec\_task\_traverse’ from install.rb:1485:in `exec_task_traverse' from install.rb:1220:in`exec\_config’ from install.rb:991:in `exec_config' from install.rb:827:in`invoke’ from install.rb:774:in `invoke’ from install.rb:1544 C:\ruby-fcgi\> 0.8.6 an error that I thought could be fixed by having fastcgiapp.h but no matter where it is place the same error occurs and trying to enter an option with the path seems to only give option not found errors.
