Error Building Gem
- by Joel M.
I tried to install the following gem:
http://github.com/maxjustus/sinatra-authentication
on Windows 7 running Ruby 1.9 from the One-Click Installer.
I got the following error:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

C:\Users\Joel>gem install sinatra-authentication
Building native extensions. This could take a while...

I looked everywehere online, tried to install earlier versions, and attempted a manual install without success (it gave me a stack too deep error).
I suspect there are problems with the yajl-ruby gem (http://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby), a dependency? (I think)
The logs in gem_make.out show:
C:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb

'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Do you have any idea as to how to solve this? Thanks!
