When I try to run even simple rails commands such as:
rails -h
I get a popup error after a few seconds that says:
ruby.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
I am running:
Is there a way I can test what is making this error? Does anyone know what it could mean?
I have found that in my ruby19/bin folder
there is msvcrt-ruby191.dll
but there is no msvcrt-ruby18.dll
anywhere. Why would it be looking for this anyway if I'm using ruby 1.9?
The current release version 1.1.5 of Mongrel is incompatible with Ruby 1.9 and throws this error when it is run. It's easy to solve - just make sure Rubygems is up-to-date:
gem update --system
Then install the new pre-release version of Mongrel:
gem install mongrel --pre
Alternatively, if this isn't caused by Mongrel, you can try installing the DevKit, then try this:
gem install *gemname* --platform=ruby
This forces compilation of the extension from source using DevKit and works with most of the major gems I've tried.
