I could be totally wrong, but if you put the .so (which is the library
already compiled) you then just do a ‘require’ in your script. You don’t
have to worry about grabbing the source to bdb and compiling.
However, if the .so you grabbed was compiled using mingw, I’m not sure if it
will work with the msvc-compiled version of ruby.

This is what I did. I got the .so and put it under
c:\langs\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.6\i586-mswin32
What am I doing wrong?

Bingo! You’re totally right!

Bingo again

Unzip and copy mingw32-ruby16.dll to c:\ruby\bin, then it will work.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try when I’m back online. (Not that I like
adding more DLLs … after all, that’s the reason I didn’t get the
CygWin port of Ruby …)

(Take two).
Thank you VERY much! It’s an excellent thing, since it solves the
problem of having to find the “correctly compiled” version of each
package each time.
I think this ought to be added to the Andy’s installer.
