I think FastCGI should be available from [www.fastcgi.com](http://www.fastcgi.com). I gave up long ago on getting a native mswin32 environment running and instead use Cygwin or Colinux (with Debian inside). If you are new to linux it will take you a pretty long time to get really get comfortable with this. If you only want to develop in Rails you should use the included Webrick. > **···** > > -- > Sascha Ebach ---

i actually tried to get mod\_ruby compiled last night under mingw32 but alas I have no 'apxs' with my apache2 installation. so whatever 'apxs' is...... if I had it I could probably build it but. shrugs... -- Stu -- [FAQ] Write Your Own Operating System     [http://www.mega-tokyo.com/osfaq2](http://www.mega-tokyo.com/osfaq2) > **···** > > On Sat, 27 Nov 2004 03:40:45 -0500, Sarah Tanembaum \ wrote: > > > Where can I get mswin32 binaries for Ruby and its extension apps and > > modules ?
