Help getting dirwatch 0.90 running

Ruby
1

I’d like to play around with dirwatch but I can’t seem to get it
running.

After installing all of its dependencies (alib, sldb, lockfile, sqlite,
modifying dirwatch.rb to also require rubygems), I started going through
the tutorial. It fails immediately (though “dirwatch --help” runs
correctly).

Any ideas?

Have you ever solved your problem?
I am stucked at my first step on windows: what to do with the
uncompressed “dirwatch-0.9.0” (I downloaded the “dirwatch-0.9.0.gz” file
at
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/dirwatch/ as I don’t know also what to
do with the other files in the structure).
What would be the step by step way of doing it?

Thanks for any hint,
paulo
