I still can't get mongrel_service or fastthread to install on my WinXP SP2
ruby 1.8.6 system, although mongrel and several others have installed &

win32-api & win32-service.) Any tips or insights appreciated.

This has been reported many times, but again will put information of
this:

mongrel_service (0.3.3) depends on win32-service, which was 0.5.2 at
the time the gem was created, but now is 0.6.0

The 0.6.0 gem is broken, and that should be reported to win32utils
guys or their tracker:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils

Technical details: gem was rubygems 0.9.5, which was broken under
windows. They need to fix this.

I'm working on complete removal of win32-service dependency from
mongrel_service, but I'm overloaded with work and cannot commit to the
task right now.

I suggest you install win32-service 0.5.2:

gem uninstall win32-service
gem install win32-service -v '0.5.2'

then try installing mongrel_service gem again.

If that didn't work, you must revert to RubyGems 0.9.4 and install
everything there before, as described here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>gem install fastthread
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing fastthread:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I've updated the fastthread gem on rubyforge a few weeks back and it
seems the changes didn't replicate to the rubyforge mirrors.

please, manually download the gem from rubyforge:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1306&release_id=15826

and install it locally:

gem install fastthread-1.0.1-i386-mswin32.gem

That should work.

HTH,

By my experience there is two ways:
First you can revert to gem 0.94 and then install mongrel_service
witch is not what I like to do
Second require that you have C++ compiler and linker in you path in
order to build the native extensions.
I have tried with different ones, but the MS Visual C++ 6.0 has done
the trick.
