Ruby

Hi Folks,

I’m trying to install thrift gem in my local windows machine. It throws
the following error. I’m using ruby 1.8.7 version. Can any one help me?

gem install thrift
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing thrift:

You’re missing a C build environment. Install the RubyInstaller’s
devkit: http://rubyinstaller.org/add-ons/devkit/
