Hi All, Mack is a framework using ruby. I followed this link to work with this framework.

Does the system have sqlite3 installed? If not it probably needs it. Probably also needs a compiler to build the native gems. RF ---

Raveendran you can also use MySQL or PostgreSQL. They’re both supported by DataMapper, and are recommended over SQLite. I would also love to know your experiences with Mack on Windows. I developed it on OS X and haven’t done a lot of Windows testing yet. -Mark > **[Home - Mack Frame Work](http://www.mackframework.com)** > > Play Live Casino Games From Home A unique platform that offers valuable casino gameplays in the most amazing way possible!

Unfortunately that doesn’t work on Windows at all. Your best bet is to either track down the person who created that gem and see if he’ll fix it, download the source and fix the gem yourself, or do what Mark B. suggested and use one of the other supported databases. You could “fake it” by creating a script or executable named ‘uname’ or maybe even an alias, but if it takes actions based on the output generated by uname it’s quite likely it’ll contain other dependencies on Unix/Linux.

There’s work being done for fixing DO and get proper Windows support. That will be part of 0.9 release of DataMapper, nothing more to say for now than read my blog 🙂 [http://blog.mmediasys.com/2008/04/24/contributions-speedup-and-less-quirks-for-us/](http://blog.mmediasys.com/2008/04/24/contributions-speedup-and-less-quirks-for-us/) Regards, ---

Hi All, I am waiting for the new release of data mapper gem… Hi Mark, I have some experience in Rails. I want to catch all ruby gem frameworks like waves,mack etc… Thats why i installed in my windows pc.I am using mysql. Is it possible to solve this issue using mysql ?. I am working as Tester in RailsFactory.I am using Watir,selenium for test the rails application. Is it possible to test the Mack application with these testing tools?. I think it is possible.Anyway, I want to work with mack environment. Nice meeting(posting) Mark… ---

Hi Raveendran, you definitely can use MySQL with Mack. I would recommend it over SQLite3, definitely. SQLite3 is great for getting started and simple development, but you’ll definitely want to move to something a bit more production ready like MySQL or PostgreSQL. As far as using watir and selenium, those are tools designed to drive a web app, they should work with any framework. You should be all set. Like always, anything I can do to make Mack better. -Mark > **[Home - Mack Frame Work](http://www.mackframework.com)** > > Play Live Casino Games From Home A unique platform that offers valuable casino gameplays in the most amazing way possible!
