You need the readline .dll and ruby bindings.
If you can use the installer for 1.8.2_rc8 I think it is already
included. 

If not, you'll need to build the readline dll on your machine
(http://directory.fsf.org/readline.html) and get the ruby bindings (try
the .so from  http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/).
