title: Ruby: Cannot Install Watir Gem On Windows
body: <p><a href="http://watir.com/installation/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Watir's site</a> says I need Ruby 1.8.6, which I'm running. And windows installation should be as simple as <code>gem install watir</code>. But when I run that, I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Ryguy\Code&gt;gem install watir
  Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
