> This is not a Cygwin question but rather a Ruby question. Yes, realized what was happening after my post, but did not know how to delete my post.

So this is error again from irb: irb(main):002:0> require 'nokogiri' LoadError: No such file or directory - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.2/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.so from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.2/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.so from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from (irb):2 I have even tried pointing: RUBYLIB=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/nokogiri-1.4.2/lib/nokogiri ...with no result. The strange part is the "No such file or directory". It seems that if the library was failing to load it would give a different message. But since the library is indeed there, it is interesting. I just went through and added group 'Users' to libsml2 and libxslt, libexslt, in case that was a problem. I noticed there was not a group assigned in the libraries I installed. Actually, I am wondering at this point if it is the copies of the above libraries I am building against that could be the problem. However, I do believe it is the libraries at xmlsoft.org I built against.
