SUBJECT: RE: ibm_db install fails with ruby 1.9.2

 

Hi David,

Do you see ibm_db listed when issued gem list?, if not you will need to check if you installed on to correct ruby installation (in case there are multiple ruby on your machine).

What is the significance of mswin32 vs mingw32?

mswin32 ruby is VC compiled and mingw32 is MinGW compiled ruby version. Respectively RUBY_PLATFORM will be mswin32 or mingw32.

Mingw ruby is know to be quite faster than mswin32 one and carries some advantages with it.

Currently ibm_db ships default for the mswin32 platform and hence you were seeing the error. Work towards making this shift (from mswin32 to mingw) is on and you would asap see ibm_db shipping default for mingw.

Thanks

Praveen
