Luis is working on a "download system" to help with dependencies, 
hopefully released soon.

So there are some binary gems that don't have dependencies.
i.e.
install ruby + devkit
gem install eventmachine # builds and installs the binary

those that do have dependencies, you have to do more work (here's where 
theoretically, the gem author could provide you with precompiled 
binaries so you don't have to download the dependencies).  At least 
that's how it is now.

There were some instructions listed recently on the rubyinstaller dev 
mailing list on compiling mysql and sqlite I think.  That might help you 
:)
Also note you'll need 5.0 not 5.1
