Hi,
i wanted to upgrade my rails installation that worked for quite a
while. So i did the obvious
gem install rails
but the fcgi gem fails with an error message
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
ruby extconf.rb install rails
checking for fcgiapp.h… no
checking for fastcgi/fcgiapp.h… no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
–with-opt-dir
–without-opt-dir
–with-opt-include
–without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
–with-opt-lib
–without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
–with-make-prog
–srcdir=.
–curdir
–ruby=c:/ruby/bin/ruby
–with-fcgi-dir
–without-fcgi-dir
–with-fcgi-include
–without-fcgi-include=${fcgi-dir}/include
–with-fcgi-lib
–without-fcgi-lib=${fcgi-dir}/lib
Gem files will remain installed in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
fcgi-0.8.7 for inspection.
Results logged to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.7/ext/fcgi/

I did not find any hints on this in the forum except other users
having the same issue. However no answer to their quesion.
My existing rails installation was broken afterwards. I tries a clean
install (Ruby from scratch, Rails from scratch) same error. Now Rails
is out of order.
How can I fix this ? I have several infrastructure components build
with Rails running on Windows so I need a working rails environment ?
Thanks for any support,
Arno
