Seem to have a slight problem with the mongrel gem, unless I’m using the custom require supplied by rubygems, I can’t get the gem to work. The following: p require ‘rubygems’ p require\_gem ‘mongrel’ p Mongrel gives me: true true -:3: uninitialized constant Mongrel (NameError) The following, however, works: p require ‘ubygems’ p require ‘mongrel’ p Mongrel ---

Odd, not quite sure what would cause that. Can you try the soon to be announce 0.2.1 release and let me know if you get the same problems? Zed A. Shaw > **[Zed A. shaw](https://zedshaw.com/)** > > Personal essays and writings by Zed A. Shaw. ---

You’re missing the fix posted just today. I’ll have a 0.2.2 out that should fix this later tonight. Basically, try adding: #if defined(\_WIN32) #include \ #endif To the top of http\_parser.h just after the sys/types.h include. Let me know if that works. Zed A.

I know Windows is evil, but I thought I’d paste in my log again, just in case it becomes handy. Ruby O.Click 1.8.2-15 install, Visual Studio 2K3 Unpack tar.gz, run ‘vsvars32’ to set up the Visual C++ environment. I then modified the extconf.rb file to look for “libc.lib”, instead of “c.lib”, since this looked like the Visual Studio equivalent, and added a dir\_config to let it find ruby.h and whatnot. Without that it doesn’t link the library in during the mkmf step, or find the headers during compilation. (Just in case it sounds like I’m decent at compiling C extensions, don’t be deceived. I actually suck at it.)
