title: How can I install zipruby under windows
body: <p>I've been trying to get zipruby installed on my windoz box, but there has been little joy.
  I'm confronted with this message. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Installing zipruby (0.3.6) with native extensions C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/li
  b/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:533:in `rescue in block in build_ex
  tensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::Extensi
  onBuildError)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would normally google things, and have in this case, but I see no answer. There seems to be nothing really on the topic of native extensions with respect to ruby. Not at least that I've found, though I'd love to be wrong. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone installed this gem on a windows box?
  If you encountered the issue, how did you get past it/fix it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
