Subject: Nooby stumped on installing ruby-pg gem

Complete Ruby noob, here. I want to go after postgres from Ruby on 
Windows to support a Ruby team. After a lot of googling trying to figure 
out how to get the ruby-pg gem loaded I finally noticed the Gem Package 
Manager application in the Ruby programs menu tree. Yeah!

In the package manager I executed "gem install pg" and saw it installed 
successfully. Yeah!!

"gem list --local" now shows PG. Yeah!!!

Running the fxri console,

require 'rake' ==> true  Yeah!!!!

require 'pg'
==>
LoadError: 126: The specified module could not be found.   - 
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/pg-0.8.0-x86-mswin32-60/lib/pg.so
	from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/pg-0.8.0-x86-mswin32-60/lib/pg.so
	from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in 
`require'
	from (irb):6
	from :0


OK, here I am stumped. It seems to be finding pg OK, but is otherwise 
unhappy... any hints are welcome.
