============================
Core requirements
- bdb (berkley db) http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=bdb
- (which requires libdb2 or better, from
- www.sleepycat.com)
- net/http 1.1+
+ tokyocabinet for "tc" DB adaptor
+ http://1978th.net/tokyocabinet/
+ you can install Ruby bindings via "gem install tokyocabinet",
+ but this still requires libtokyocabinet to be installed system-wide
+ bdb (berkeley db) for "bdb" DB adaptor or converting from it
+ http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/bdb/
+ (which requires libdb4.x or better, formerly from
+ www.sleepycat.com, now at
+ http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/index.html)
+ Most of the time you don't need to compile anything.
+ If you're running Linux, your distribution should
+ have a libdb-ruby packaged (or similar).
+ For Windows instructions, check at the bottom
+ of this file.
+
+ iconv this is needed by the httputil object and by the IRC engine
+ to ensure consistent encoding across the bot

Running rbot on win32
=====================
-here is bdb:
+You can install Ruby using the One-Click Ruby installer, available from
+http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/
+
+You can find a precompiled version of the bdb package for ruby here
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/bdb-0.5.1-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz
-and you need the Win32 MinGW version of Ruby:
-http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ruby-1.8.4-i386-mingw32.tar.gz
+When you unpack the archive (e.g. using WinZip or 7-Zip or any other tool
+of your choice) you'll notice that it contains the following directory structure:
+ usr
+ +---local
+ +---doc
+ +---lib
+and you have to move the doc and lib folders (and all their contents) in the folder
+where you installed Ruby (typically C:\Ruby\)
