I think the problem here is that bundler is trying to install win32-api on
your Linux machine which makes sense to me why that would fail :)

The dependency is part of the Watir gem which is used to start up the
browser. I didn't write word_cloud to be compatible with Linux
installations but I suppose it could easily be made to do so if I had a
Linux machine available. All that would need to be done is to get Watir to
start up Firefox. I will see if I can look into this but it will be
difficult for me to test since I'm not on Linux. Can you use a windows
machine for this?

Sorry for not replying earlier.

Im a Unix guy so was hoping bundler could resolve the dependency issue,
nevermind it wasnt a good fit. I'm looking for something similar like
Wordpress tag cloud, so I could run it on my ubuntu server and on the fly
with changing data...Wasn't lucky so far to find a fit in ruby.
Thanks for help anyway.
