I'm trying to install NArray so that irb can get access to its
methods.

Is there a blow by blow description on how to do this in a Windows
environment?

Did you do
require 'narray'
in irb?

Best,

Is there a gem available (the website should say)? If so, install it
that way.

That looks like C files that need to be compiled. If no gem is
available, I guess you'll have to build the library from source.

Learn about gems and make.

Yep, there is.

$ gem list | grep array
