Re: Adding new gem to msf

[egypt () metasploit com]

The cygwin installer isn't supported anymore.  With the new installer,
all you need to do is open a "System Console" from the Metasploit
start menu and type "gem install ..." which will install native win32
libraries when necessary.  It looks like that particular gem doesn't
have pre-built libraries on the gem server, so it's sort of a pain and
probably requires a compiler.

That being said, cygwin should be able to do it if you download the
ruby headers and put them into the expected path,
/usr/lib/ruby/include

Hope this helped,
egypt
