“Now is time to hunt down MySQL gem author and politely ask him integrate my patches”
Does it mean that we could have a working mysql gem with your great rubyinstaller1.8.6 without getting the famous “ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension”?
I don’t remember having this issue with the old OneClickInstaller

Yes, only a early test version of Mongrel, maybe it would experience some issues, couldn’t commit some free time to it.

As for the timeline:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rubyinstaller-devel/2009-July/000770.html

It seems to work fine on 1.9.1 preview1 with that gem, thanks.

Aside: Any timeline for a final ruby installer release, and getting mongrel into the normal repos?

You can reach me over rubyinstaller-devel mailing list google groups (ruby-talk) and all the comments to the blog articles, I read them all and get alerts

To your question:

I commented here (at the bottom) that Mongrel was not to work either on 1.9 or MinGW.

On my previous post about SQLite3, you can read my comment about Mongrel:

Sorry for posting this as a comment, I wasn’t sure how to get a hold of you via other means.

I’ve been using your latest version of RubyInstaller for 1.9.x — works great btw — love that you’ve stripped out all the gunk, and keep it lean and mean, leaving the rest to gems. However, I tried to install mongrel, but it installs a 1.8.x gem which doesn’t work; Any chance of getting a 1.9.x build for that?

Thanks

Now you can:

SQLite3::Database.new(":memory:") do |db|
  db.execute "..."
end

Similar to File.open and File.new block functionality!
