Looks like nmake cannot execute cl.exe ?

I need to update my copies of mongrel repository to do some work on
the Windows gems, I thought Evan will be doing it, but seems he
didn't.

I don't now what I can do.

Do you downloaded the gem 1.1.5? have you tried the following?

gem install mongrel -v '= 1.1.4'

That will install 1.1.4 which already have mswin32 version until I
manage to build latest version.

Please apologize the inconvenience.

HTH,
