Hi,
I am trying to install libxml on windows ruby from gem file [1], and
though
install output suggests install was successful with “1 gem installed”,
in
the build.log it says "rake aborted! No Rakefile found (looking for:
build.rake).
Assuming install worked nonetheless, when I try to require ‘libxml’ [2],
it
reports that libxml_ruby.so could not be found, even though it does
actually exist, although it’s only 209KB.
Ideas anyone? New to ruby, so not exactly sure why there’s a rake error
logged when gem apparently installed, and also why it’s reported the .so
file doesn’t exist when it does.
