Problem with Typhoeus

[Cane]

Hello, I am trying to get the environment up and running on Windows,
through RubyInstaller (http://rubyinstaller.org/). The only gem that
wont install properly is Typhoeus.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just installed Ruby Installer (1.8.7-p330) on Windows XP and then tried 
"gem install typhoeus" from the command prompt.  I got this error:

ERROR:  Error installing typhoeus:

        The 'typhoeus' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit

from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions

at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

Is this similar to the error you got?

However, when I installed "msysgit" (Git for Windows - http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) and opened a bash shell it worked fine for me:

$ gem install typhoeus

$ gem install typhoeus

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

$ gem list

mime-types (1.16)

typhoeus (0.2.1)

If you don't mind using a UNIX shell (bash) then this might be an option for you.  Also, you get Git which is another reason to install msysgit.

To open a msysgit shell window, execute: C:\msysgit\msysgit\msys.bat (if you chose the default install location).

The version of msysgit I installed was "msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.3.1-preview20101002.exe" (Description: Full installer (self-contained) if you want to hack on Git).  Here is the direct link: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.3.1-preview20101002.exe&can=2&q=

Clarence.
