I'm not sure how this is a deadend. It's a distribution tarball:
download it, expand it, and there are instructions inside for how to
install it.

If you are on a windows system, you may prefer the zipfile to the
tarball (tarballs are mainly used by unix folks). You can download it
from RubyGem's RubyForge downloads page:
  http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126

Either way, installation is a relative snap: run the setup script, and
it installs a default installation.

cheers,
Mark
