Can't install 2.0.0.pre3 on windows

[citizenmatt]

Johnson fails to install on windows, using 2.0.0.pre3, ruby 1.8.7, the 4.5.0 devkit and running on 64 bit Windows 7. It appears to be trying to run the "configure" script for spidermonkey, and Windows doesn't seem to like it.

Thanks
Matt

Don't think any of us have had the need to have Johnson run on windows. It you want to try and can come up with a patch, that'd be great.

Anyone haves a solution? I'm trying to install on windows7 (same configuration and version as above) too with no success...

I'm trying to install on Windows 7 32bit with Ruby 1.9.3, also no success.

I have the same issue, anyone have the solution. thanks in advance.

I have the same issue exactly on Mevricks (MAC OS). :(

@LitalFiverr I'd guess you're seeing a somewhat different compiler error... more like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20051330/cant-install-ruby-gem-johnson, perhaps?

What's your ruby version?
