I've removed the line about adding the $LOAD_PATH now; thx. @Urma [via] - yeah that looks to be true; so the LOAD_PATH bit needs to be in the test file still, but can be removed from the root lib file.

But that's just imo. I'll email you about how to pre-build mswin32 etc gems, and if extra rake tasks would be helpful. @Luis Lavena [via] - yeah, I kinda like explicitly stating that you’re loading the extension as it communicates to the read where they should find the source, I think.

Are you sure it works when installed as an actual gem? In my experience the extension target always gets moved into lib/ after Rubygems builds it. That LOAD_PATH thing is kinda odd.

You don't need to add the '.so' indicating to require the extension, it will automatically look for it or a .rb file with the same name Worked without problems, with both versions of Ruby, Visual C 6 and MinGW. Thank you for the ping! ;-) Regards, Luis Hey Dr.Nic!
