| 76 | ===================== |
|---|

| 78 | You can install Ruby using the One-Click Ruby installer, available from |
|---|
| 79 | http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/ |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | You can find a precompiled version of the bdb package for ruby here |
|---|
| 82 | http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/bdb-0.5.1-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz |
|---|
| 83 | |
|---|
| 84 | When you unpack the archive (e.g. using WinZip or 7-Zip or any other tool |
|---|
| 85 | of your choice) you'll notice that it contains the following directory structure: |
|---|
| 86 | usr |
|---|
| 87 | +---local |
|---|
| 88 | +---doc |
|---|
| 89 | +---lib |
|---|
| 90 | and you have to move the doc and lib folders (and all their contents) in the folder |
|---|
| 91 | where you installed Ruby (typically C:\Ruby\) |
|---|
| 92 | |
