When I try to install visualruby by following the instructions for
installing all of the prerequisites, I get this:
ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13) [i386-mingw32]
C:\Users\me>gem install visualruby
ERROR: Error installing visualruby:
The ‘gtksourceview2’ native gem requires installed build tools.
Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from ‘Downloads ’ and follow the instructions
at ‘Development Kit · oneclick/rubyinstaller Wiki · GitHub ’
This seems like it should be pretty simple to fix but, I am unsure what
to do.
I ran the rubyinstaller and got 1.9.3 (to support the version I need to
use).
I am installing on a Windows 7 64 bit PC.
Will someone help?
Thanks!

Thanks

Which version of rubygem is installed ?
There is a bug with 2.5.0, and it tries to compile the native gems
instead of downloading the binaries.
Look at Installing the qtbindings/nokogiri gem on 64-bit Windows fails starting with rubygems 2.5.0 · Issue #1369 · rubygems/rubygems · GitHub .
If you use 2.4.x, I don’t know what’s happening.
I also see you are using 1.9.3. I’m not sure binaries are available for
this old version.
