Rice is not 1.9 compatible right now. I hope to get that taken care of soon
(slated for 1.4).

George, can you post what's
in C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rice-1.1.0/gem_make.out

Though as for building on Windows, I know it works over Cygwin, I doubt it
works over mingw, and I know it's not going to compile over VisualStudio
tools.

I'm working on a 1.3 release which I hope to have out soon. 1.1 is quite old
and there's been a ton of work since then. I'd recommend getting the source
from http://github.com/jameskilton/rice and building from there until this
new release is out.

Also, we've got our own mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-rice or I idle on IRC freenode
#ruby-rice for further help.

Jason
