Subject: [Rubyinstaller-users] Ruby interpreter upgrade within an existing
	OCI installation?
Message-ID: <533048b70612220623y6eaad4efse780907cc355b32f@mail.gmail.com>

Can a ruby interpreter ( ../bin/ruby.exe ) built with mingw32 be used [
at_all | safely ] to replace the
vc6 (msmin32) one shipped with OCI?

Would anything else have to be changed as well, or is it simply not
feasable?

Background is that the version of ruby-1.8.5 used in the
ruby185-21.exerelease of OCI has (through
no fault of the OCI maintainers) a bug in require that causes a lot of
warning messages when
invoking libraries such as FXruby. I can't rebuild ruby with msvc6, as that
compiler does not
seem to be available for download anywhere. I have built ruby-1.8.5-p2 with
mingw, and it
runs in an Msys shell, but is the resulting ruby.exe 'portable' to other
windows environments?

Thanks -
