Hi @mittalyashu,

Yes, @yogeshkotadiya is right. Native extensions are not supported "out of the box" on Windows platforms, you will have to install the Ruby DevKit to be able to install Redcarpet on this OS.

Thanks for reporting anyway !

I was facing same kind of error during rails installation in windows >

Solution :

Download Ruby+Devkit exe file
Install Ruby+Devkit

> ruby -v 
> gem -v
> gem install rails 
> rails -v

All worked !!!!
