Have you tried "gem query -n ruby-activeldap -r"  to verify that it
exist
if it does you can "gem install ruby_activeldap"   the -r is not
necessary unless you have a local copy of the gemspec

The correct syntax if "gem install ruby_activeldap -r"

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem -v
0.9.2
