Hello "Ruby Student"

You're getting those errors since you're missing the binaries required
to zlib, openssl and readline.

Those binaries exist in One-Click installer because the package
developers decided to bundle those to ease the users life.

There is no official package for 1.9.1 of One-Click Installer, so you
will need to manually hunt down (download and extract).

Use as reference the following:
