[libxml-devel] Does libxml-ruby install on windows or not

[Sun Tea]

Hi,

I am having the same issues trying to install the libxml-ruby gem

c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install libxml-ruby
checking for socket() in socket.lib... no
checking for gethostbyname() in nsl.lib... no
checking for atan() in m.lib... yes
checking for inflate() in z.lib... no
checking for inflate() in zlib.lib... no
checking for inflate() in zlib1.lib... no
 extconf failure: need zlib

as others have and posted the issue here.  In trying not to waste time
I would like to know if there is a successful work around to this or
not. I have all the depend lib/dll installed and their location in the
PATH

Also I know there is a command to list functions in a dll or lib can
someone remind me what it is?

Thanks
John
