Ruby client and VC 2005EE client

The current Ruby pre-release states that it requires the VC6 runtime. I've built the server using VC 2005 express edition. I now wonder if this will work or if I shouldn't bother trying?

I also wonder how far away the first ICE for Ruby release is?

    Hi,

    Ice for Ruby requires VC6 because it's the only the compiler supported by Ruby. However, you're free to use any supported Ice for C++ platform/compiler for your server (assuming it's a C++ server). So, you shouldn't have any problems getting your Ice for Ruby client to communicator with your server built with Visual Studio 2005.

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
