Ruby 1.9.1 and Mongrel ; (use Thin instead)
Mongrel refuses to play in windows under ruby 1.9.1 as of yet. The gem installs, then Mongrel craps out in an ungodly memory dump.
If you are looking for something better than Webrick, Thin works better, faster and and it works under Windows, and Ruby 1.9.1.
If you cant compile the gem because of you need the ruby development kit for windows.. well, get MinGW (installer for windows 5.1.6) , get MSYS , then install the gem.
(Update) Found the same sort of problems trying to get Mongrel running on CentOS 5.4 with Ruby 1.9.1 . Save your precious time and go with thin.
