Let me put it to you this way. If you aren't able to understand the error
message that its giving you, there is nobody here who can help you access
the com port. Please be more clear. Construct short sentences, lay them down
one by one in a logical sequence as follows:

1) I need to access the serial port.
2) I tried installing <name_of_gem>
3) It won't compile.
4) Why?
5) It won't compile because <figure it out>

Sathish,

The error you face is not a Ruby problem. What happens when you type in
Sathish in a command prompt? Try opening a command prompt in windows, and
type in Sathish. You will get a "Bad Command Or Filename" or something like
that. Why do you think this happens? Why does the command line not recognize
the name Sathish?
