It's unclear to me exactly what problem you're trying to solve...

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Do you mean that 'require
"watir"' returns true?  If so, that's not an error.

What unit tests?  What is the error/failure reported when you run
these unit tests?

This won't stop you from using the builder gem; at worst, you may be
missing some _documentation_ for the builder gem on your local
machine.

Which gem is failing to build it's native extension?  Once you figure
that out, googling for that gem's specific requirments will probably
tell you what you're missing.

Also, it'd be useful to know what operating system and the versions of
ruby and rubygems you're on.
