Installing win32-process

There isn't a gem yet for win32-process. Your best option is to either
use the win32utils-installer, which contains a installs a series of
precompiled binaries, or to download the process-0.3.2.so file on the
RubyForge 'files' page (and rename it to process.so), and install it by
hand.

Subject: installing win32-process

Can this be installed with gem?

I don't have a C compiler. According to the README in the
win32-process-0.3.2 zip file, I need one to install. Why
can't I use gem
to get it?

When I do 'gem query --remote --name-matches win32' I see these gems:

win32-clipboard
win32-sapi
win32-service
win32-sound

But none of the other win32 packages.

I'm new to Ruby, perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Any tips?

OK, thanks... what's the proper way to require or include it in a program?
