Library directory structure on windows

As above, you don’t place it in the lib area manually. Let the
installer do the work. It will decide where to put the files (almost
certainly under lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/iowa/).

The things you download should be versioned so you can have them
sitting side by side. The runtime files aren’t versioned as you can
only have one version installed at a time.

thanks gavin. there is an installer.
however i noticed that the installer didn’t automatically copy any docs. this is also the case for a few other packages i installed.
why don’t installers do that? do ruby application installers never copy docs to the ruby/docs folder. should i always do it manually? if so, why?

thanks again
