RubyGems requesting win32/service on Red Hat Linux

Hi,

I successfully installed a RoR/Flex/Oracle application in a Windows environment and am now in the process of trying the same in Linux. Unfortunately, when I get to the part where I start Mongrel, I get the following error message:

[root@localhost FDS_Server]# mongrel_rails start -e production -p 4001 /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- win32/service (LoadError)

I've seen something similar in Windows recently, where I've had to install win32-service 0.5.2 as recommended by Luis Lavena (http:// www.flickr.com/photos/filchiprogrammer/2652641020/), but this is a brand new setup in Linux, rebuilt from source...

Here are a few details of my setup:

[root@localhost FDS_Server]# ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-linux] [root@localhost FDS_Server]# gem -v 1.2.0 [root@localhost FDS_Server]# rails -v Rails 2.1.0

I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks,

Chris.

Luis Lavena pointed out to me on the Deploying Rails forum that mongrel_service is specific to Windows... I uninstalled it and was able to get Mongrel running in Linux.
