The problem may be that the binary gem (...-x86-mingw32.gem) is compiled for Ruby 1.8 and 1.9, but not 2.0. I'm not sure I want to offer the binary gem anymore, as it's a maintenance burden (I don't use Windows myself).

Could you try installing the non-binary version of the gem?:

gem install taglib-ruby --platform ruby

[romusD]

I have build the taglib then install the taglib-ruby with folowing command:
D:\DevKit2\taglib-1.8>gem install taglib-ruby --platform=ruby -- --with-tag-include=D:\DevKit2\taglib-1.8 --with-tag-lib=D:\DevKit2\taglib-1.8\taglib
Fetching: taglib-ruby-0.6.0.gem (100%)
Building native extensions with: '--with-tag-include=D:\DevKit2\taglib-1.8 --with-tag-lib=D:\DevKit2\taglib-1.8\taglib'
This could take a while...

What files are inside D:/xampplite/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/taglib-ruby-0.6.0/lib/?

[romusD]

taglib.rb
and in taglib folder:
base.rb
flac.rb
id3v1.rb
id3v2.rb
mp4.rb
mpeg.rb
ogg.rb
version.rb
vorbis.rb

[robinst]

lib should contain taglib_base.so and the other built extensions. What does D:/xampplite/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/taglib-ruby-0.6.0/ext/taglib_base/ contain?

[romusD]

Makefile
extconf.rb
includes.i
mkmf.log
siteconf20130818-1504-bgh083.rb
taglib_base.i
taglib_base_wrap.cxx

[robinst]

Does mkmf.log contain any errors? Is there any .so file somewhere in D:/xampplite/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/taglib-ruby-0.6.0?

[romusD]

mkmf.log has no errors. I found no .so files in taglib-ruby-0.6.0 and subfolders.
the content of mkmf.log from taglib_base is:

Closing as a duplicate of #62 for fixing Windows somehow.
