I tried installing this gem on Windows 7 but got the following error:
C:\RailsInstaller\DevKit>gem install ots
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing ots:

I have railsinstaller installed and it comes with devkit as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
This library primarily targets Linux and OSX (Darwin). I'm only going by mingw's faq:
You need to get pkg-config and glib-2.0 installed before you can install the OTS gem -- you could optionally use a Linux VM and try it out there if installing the mingw OTS dependencies is too hard.
