I am trying out the following X10 intergratuion with Bamboo (http://  
[urlant.com//yvwjlo](http://urlant.com//yvwjlo)) and when i installed the one click windows install  
of Ruby and run the ruby script, i get the following error:

C:\ruby\bin\>ruby C:\ruby\samples\ContinuousIntegrationLampControl  
\continuous\_bui  
lder\_lamp\_controller.rb  
C:/ruby/samples/ContinuousIntegrationLampControl/  
continuous\_builder\_lamp\_control  
ler.rb:3:in `require’: no such file to load – win32/sound (LoadError)  
from C:/ruby/samples/ContinuousIntegrationLampControl/  
continuous\_builder  
\_lamp\_controller.rb:3

Is there any 101 testing i can do to test that ruby is working  
correctly befiore i go to far into hacking the script.

Have you installed the win32-sound gem?

gem install win32-sound

If you haven’t that might explain your problem
