I didn’t mention in the subject that I’m using Firebird because I’m  
hoping non-Firebird developers will read this since there only seem to  
be about four people using Rails with Firebird. First what works for  
me - WinXP/Rails/Apache/FireRuby works great. I’ve also got WinXP/  
Rails/Apache/FastCGI working well. When I mix FastCGI and FireRuby I  
blow up with this:

126: The specified module could not be found. - C:/ruby/lib/ruby/  
gems/1.8/gems/fireruby-0.4.1-mswin32/lib/fr\_lib.so

The top of the call stack looks like this:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fireruby-0.4.1-mswin32/lib/fr\_lib.so  
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:33:in  
`require’

The file referenced in the error does exist. I’m betting this is  
something simple, but I’ve been banging my head against it for many  
hours. I’ll take any conceivable suggestions happily.

Thanks,
