I don't think there's a one-click installer for Ruby 1.9 on Windows yet; the latest is still 1.86. The main Ruby website does have compiled .exes for 1.9.1 on Windows, you just have to unzip them, set up a path, and copy a few miscellaneous .DLLs by hand to get everything working. The three .DLLs I copied into ruby\bin were zlib.dll, readline.dll, and iconv.dll.

David,
You are correct that the FXRuby built for Ruby 1.8 doesn't work with Ruby 1.9 and needs to be recompiled. I did not realize there was a one-click installer for Ruby 1.9 on Windows. Where did you find this?

Problem with FXRUBY 1.6.19 [ reply ]

Several folks, myself included, are unable to run FXRUBY 1.6.19 under Ruby 1.9.1. Installation of the gem seems to go fine; but then, in IRB, typing "require 'fox16'" gives the following error--
This application has failed to start because
msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this
problem.
Ruby 1.9.1 now puts "msvcrt-ruby191.dll" into the ruby BIN directory. Looks like FXRUBY needs to be recompiled to reference it instead of the old DLL.
Here's a thread on another site where a user is asking for help with this problem:
