Please read the note added to Ruby-lang website:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads

"Please note that some of the above binaries will require manual
download and installation of additional components detailed on this
page. Please ensure you’ve followed/performed these steps prior
reporting a bug.

The One-Click Installer does not require these additional tasks."

The page it mention is this:

You can also, of course, play out with upcoming One-Click Installer:
