hi,
Actually, as far as I can remember, I did have to compile the Ruby
Mapscript libraries from the source using SWIG. The Mac is just a
flavour of unix these days so the instructions were fairly
straightforward - I don't have a Windows machine here so I'm not sure
what you get with ms4w.
As you can probably tell, I haven't been able to spend much time with
this for a while. Ruby in Space was never intended to be a framework,
but rather just a tutorial to document how I got it all to run
together, although I must say that there seems to be a lot of
potential combining Rails and Mapserver.
If I remember any more information I'll post it here.

I'm new to this list, so: Hi to all
I'm just starting to work with mapserver - and i'm already stuck
during setting up my environment.
I'm working under Windows XP and I would like to develop with ruby
on rails.
What is working:
Ruby on Rails
Postgres with PostGis
CGI-Mapserver (mapserv.exe)
But i couldn't find any possibility to download the Ruby Mapscript
Libraries for Windows, nor could i find any Instructions for using
Ruby mapscript under Windows. I installed Mapserver using the ms4w-
package, but this is rolled out without the Ruby Mapscript (Why?)
I would like to get the framework "ruby in space" (by geoaspects, http://www.geoaspects.com/rubyinspace.shtml)
working - but they have only installation instructions for mac OS.
So, finally, the question: How may I use the mapserver with ruby
under windows?
If my question is not clear, apologise..
many greets, Carl
