If you want to provide options to the gem during compile process,
please place them after double dashes:
gem install rsruby -- --with-R-dir=
Also, a few recommendations:
* for --with-R-dir, supply the root directory of R installation, not
the bin directory
* Try to install R in a path without spaces, path with spaces are
always problematic. If you can install in a different folder, try
using Substituted drivers (subst):
subst X: "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1"
gem intstall rsruby -- --with-R-dir=X:
* Ensure you have successfully installed a compiler (like DevKit for
RubyInstaller)

and I get the same error cannot find the R library
concerning DevKit for RubyInstaller, I don't know,sorry I'am new with
ruby
I use Ruby186 and Komodo how can I test if it's correct? but I installed

Hi Pascal,
As far as I know RSRuby doesn't install/work on Windows. It should be possible to modify the source/build code to make it build, but I don't have a Windows machine (or the time!) to do that work myself - apologies. RSRuby does install fine on *nix based systems or if you are tied to Windows I think RPy (the equivalent Python package) does install on Windows.

Hello Alex,
Perhaps something like rake-compiler and it's cross-platform
compilation infrastructure can help you on that?
rake-compiler reduce the code required for extension compilation and
gem packaging plus additionally you can target Ruby versions of
Windows without the need of a real Windows machine
(of course, just to compile, for testing and other it will require
WINE or Windows)
This is been used by projects like DataMapper, SQLite3-Ruby, MySQL
gem, pg gem and others to deliver pre-compiled binaries and track down
compilation issues on Windows.
Nowdays Ruby on Windows has migrated to RubyInstaller, which uses GCC
as compiler toolchain, making things like porting more easy.
As long this extension/gem is not doing sockets, threads or signals,
things should work smoothly with the above mentioned approach.
If you want, I can provide guidance and support while you introduce
these changes.
If interested, post to RubyInstaller list:

Hello Alex, Luis
I've tried to use Rpy on windows but it doesn't work,
you need to install three things
Rpy-1.0.3.win32-py2.7-R.2.12.1
Numpy-1.5.1-win32-superpack-python2.7
Pywin32-216.win32-py2.7
and in the end you get
:
RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2111
do you think that it would be possible to use rsruby on windows soon?
Pascal
