============================
Core requirements
- bdb (berkley db) 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.
- net/http 1.2+
- net/https (for debian, this will also need libopenssl-ruby)
- socket
- uri
+ 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
+ you can install those requirement in debian like this:
+ sudo aptitude install libtokyocabinet9 libtokyocabinet-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
+ sqlite3 for "sqlite" DB adaptor
+ install with gem install sqlite,
+ this also requires development libraries on the system to be present.
+ mechanize install it using gem install mechanize

External programs needed for rbot
=================================
Running rbot on win32
=====================
-You can install Ruby using the One-Click Ruby installer, available from
-http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/
+OMYGOD no!
-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
-
-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\)
