As far as I can see, the serialport library was supposed to work with
1.8. There doesn't seem to be a 1.9 version on the GitHub repository
either.
I'm pretty stuck and don't want to learn Python just so I can write
programs for my Arduino (I need to use an email library as well so I can
light an LED each time I get a new email - ie. I can't use
'Processing').
You've installed a Binary gem for 1.8 when you've tried to use Ruby
1.9
Please install a gem binary gem that is compatible with Ruby 1.9 or
force the compilation process indicating the "ruby" platform:
gem install ruby-serialport --platform=ruby
I can't comment on the state of the gem itself, but if you used
RubyInstaller and the Development Kit, building other gems could be
straight forward as *nix OS.

There is a 1.9 version of this gem on github, I'm not sure why searching
didn't find it.
Also, I believe this was released to gemcutter as serialport:
gem install serialport

Hi Louis,
Does ruby-serial works well with ruby1.8 ?
Also, I believe this was released to gemcutter as serialport:
gem install serialport

Thanks but I still seem to get the same errors. First it gives me this
error:
D:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\ruby-serialport\test>ruby miniterm.rb
miniterm.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- ../serialport.so
(LoadError)
from miniterm.rb:1:in `<main>'
So I find 'serialport.so' from here http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=61&release_id=30322\. The file called
'serialport_win32.zip'. I put the 'serialport.so' file in the
D:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\ruby-serialport folder and then I get
this windows pop-up error again:
'The application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.'
I don't quite understand where I am going wrong. Is there some kind of
updated 'serialport.so' that I need?
D:\Ruby19\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\ruby-serialport\test>ruby miniterm.rb
miniterm.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- ../serialport.so

from miniterm.rb:1:in `<main>'
I think this might mean there is "some other" dependency that it is
missing.
it appears that the "serialport" gem should build and work with 1.9.1
mingw + devkit
E:\dev\ruby\ruby-prof\test>gem install serialport
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed serialport-1.0.1
1 gem installed
E:\dev\ruby\ruby-prof\test>irb
require 'serialport'

'The application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not

That ruby18.dll is a hint--you're using ruby19 and it's searching for
ruby18.dll, so there's probably a problem there.
You could also try using an older version of Ruby for windows, which
probably would work with that .so file ("legacy one click installer" on http://rubyinstaller.org/download.html\)
Also Python isn't that hard to learn--we don't hate it here

Hi Gordon and All ,
Thank you very much rubyinstaller.org groups . We achieved not only in
linux, windows too . As per the instructions from rubyinstaller.org , I
installed ruby1.8 and devkit .
Then Finally I download win32serial then I followed the instructions in
Readme from win32serial.zip . Then run the modem.rb sample file . Now
the modem is responding correctly .
However after rubyinstaller and devkit, I can shine in windows as same
as linux .Soon I am going to write documentations for this .
