Running Jekyll on Windows 7

Question

I'm having an issue with running Jekyll on windows 7. When I run

jekyll

I get the following error

C:\temp\jekyll\kouphax.github.com> jekyll
Configuration from C:/temp/jekyll/kouphax.github.com/_config.yml
Building site: C:/temp/jekyll/kouphax.github.com -> C:/temp/jekyll/kouphax.github.com/_site

You are missing a library required for Textile. Please run:
  $ [sudo] gem install RedCloth

ERROR: YOUR SITE COULD NOT BE BUILT:
------------------------------------
Missing dependency: RedCloth

However RedCloth IS installed

C:\temp\jekyll\kouphax.github.com> gem install RedCloth
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...

Can anyone enlighten me?

Answer 1

I followed the instructions here and that fixed my problem.

After gem install RedCloth run redcloth.bat from \Ruby\bin (replace \Ruby\ with the Ruby installation dir).

If it complains about not finding the path 1.9/redcloth_scan then do the following:

Create a dir named 1.9 in \Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\RedCloth-4.2.8\ext

Copy everything from \Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\RedCloth-4.2.8\ext\redcloth_scan in the 1.9 folder just created.
