Subject: I have 1.9.1, win32-service gem looking for 1.8

I have 1.9.1 installed (from zip).  My scripts use the win32-service
gem, so installed it with:

> gem install win32-service

This installed the following gems without error:
win32-api (1.4.0)
win32-service (0.6.1)
windows-api (0.3.0)
windows-pr (1.0.3)

When I run the script, I get this in a pop-up dialog:
"This application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not
found."

And the first line of console error is:
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/windows-api-0.3.0/lib/windows/api.rb:1:in
`require': 126: The specified module could not be found.   -
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/win32-api-1.4.0-x86-mswin32-60/lib/win32/api.so
(LoadError)

I *think* that means that one or more of those gems are compiled against
the older Ruby.

I'm a gems n00b.  Does gems not check for this mismatch of ruby
versions?

How can I get these gems for Ruby 1.9.1?

Thanks for any help.
