This may not help the OP, info provide just in case.
The problem may be related to Vista or as you mentioned the gem was
built by the OP rather than installed.

Both win32-api and windows-api work fine on Windows XP.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gem query -n api
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
win32-api (1.0.3)
    A superior replacement for Win32API
windows-api (0.2.0)
    An easier way to create methods using Win32API

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'win32/api'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'windows/api'
=> true
