Installing libCurl - ruby 1.9.3 .. rails 3.2.12 .. Windows

Question

So, I'm trying to get feedzirra up and running... ruby 1.9.3p448 Rails 3.2.12

• I went to http://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win32 and downloaded Win32 2000/XP 7.32.0 libcurl SSL. It may be obvious, but this is libcurl -v 7.32.

• I unzipped the aforementioned file into c:\libcurl ( so the bin, lib, and whatnot are directly in libcurl ).

• I added c:\libcurl\bin to the PATH.

• While in my app's working directory, I told bundler where to find the cURL dependencies with bundle config build.curb --with-curl-lib=C:\libcurl\bin --with-curl-include=C:\libcurl\include.

• I set the version of nokogiri to gem 'nokogiri', '~> 1.5.3' in my gemfile, as it doesn't like the current -v 1.6.0. This installs nokogiri -v 1.5.10.

• I set the version of feedzirra to gem 'feedzirra', github: 'pauldix/feedzirra', ref: '80cd357' in my gemfile.

• This installs some dependencies:

  Using curb (0.8.4) - trying gem 'curb', '0.8.1' and gem 'curb', '~> 0.7.15' doesn't resolve the issue, just a heads up

  Using loofah (1.2.1)

  Using sax-machine (0.2.0.rc1)

  Using feedzirra (0.2.0.rc2) from git://github.com/pauldix/feedzirra.git (at 80cd357) - obviously

bundle is a success! Problem isn't with bundle, though. I can get the stuff to install. When trying rails s or rails c, I get the following: ( curb_core.so does exist, though )

Ummmm. I rebooted. For anyone ending up here... the question is the answer. Plus a reboot. I didn't know I had to reboot with this stuff? I'm not gonna fight it! Woot!!
