mongrel fails to start with the error below on my win32 box (needs
win32/service). But I do have the win32gem install win32-service sits
there forever (hours) while "building native extensions" which I
abovrt. The shared object for win32-service (service-0.5.2-vc6.so)
is available though, so presumably I don't need the win32-service gem?
I have seen a recent thread by Jeff Cohen and Daniel Berger with a
similar (identical) issue. But I didn't really see a resolution of
this. Supposedly I shouldn't need the win32-service gem because I
have the shared object. If I do need the gem, I have a similar problem
building the gem because my C compiler (latest Visual Studio) can't
compile the gem (service.c fails with "bad program database").
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
