    <p>So, I can't for the life of my get this working properly. My ultimate goal is to get the dbd-odbc gem installed and working, and from multiple things I've read, I need to install the <a href="http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/" rel="noreferrer">ODBC binding</a> for ruby alongside the dbd-odbc gem. Well, I can get the dbd-odbc gem installed just fine, but when it comes to trying to install the binding it tanks out on me like so: </p> <pre> Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing ruby-odbc-0.9998.gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.` c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb checking for version.h... *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. Provided configuration options: --with-opt-dir --without-opt-dir --with-opt-include --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include --with-opt-lib --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib --with-make-prog --srcdir=. --curdir --ruby=c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/bin/ruby --with-odbc-dir --without-odbc-dir --with-odbc-include --without-odbc-include=${odbc-dir}/include --with-odbc-lib --without-odbc-lib=${odbc-dir}/lib c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:364:in 'try_do': The complier failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError) You have to install development tools first. from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:433:in 'try_cpp' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:811:in 'block in have_header' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:670:in 'block in checking_for' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:276:in 'block (2 levels) in postpone' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:250:in 'open' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:276:in 'block in postpone' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:250:in 'open' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:272:in 'postpone' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:669:in 'checking_for' from c:/tools/ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p376/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:810:in 'have_header' from extconf.rb:22:in '' </pre> <p>So...reading through it, it says I have to install the development tools first. Fine and dandy. I go <a href="http://www.rubyinstaller.org/download.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, and grab the dev kit. I wander <a href="http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/development-kit" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, and read through the instructions on how to install it. I install it.<br> On a side note - I've tried this with a one-click install of 1.9.1 from the ruby installer site. I've tried this with precompiled mswin-32 binaries of ruby, under 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1. None of them have worked.<br> I'll stick with the one-click installer since that's what all the instructions I've come across the web seem to be using. Fine. It says to edit my fstab file. I do. Here's my current setup:<br> My ruby installation is sitting in: <code>C:\tools\ruby\ruby19</code> The devkit has been extracted into this directory, and I can check the /bin and see gcc.bat, make.bat and sh.bat in there.<br> I follow the directions and modify my devkit/msys/1.0.11/etc/fstab file. It now looks like this:<br> <code>C:/tools/ruby/ruby19/devkit/gcc/3.4.5 /mingw C:/tools/ruby/ruby19/devkit/msys/1.0.11/usr/local /usr/local</code> </p> <p>No matter what I seem to do, I cannot for the life of me get the odbc binding gem to compile to native extensions. I keep getting the same error over and over. This is getting highly frustrating - please help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
