libxml-ruby on windows xp problem
About a month ago I installed libxml-ruby using 
gem install libxml-ruby
and it worked fine.
Then i went to install it on another machine today and it failed with this error:

    C:\Windows\system32>gem install -r libxml-ruby
    Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
    ERROR:  Error installing libxml-ruby:

I have rake installed and win32-api

I then got confused if I had really installed libxml-ruby on my machine previously and tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. It now fails with the same error message on my machine and some scripts i've written to parse xml, which used to work, no longer work. Has anyone else tried installing libxml-ruby lately on windows xp? It appears to be completely broken.
