If the gem update --system fails, please update manually:

If you're still getting 0.9.4 that means you're updating the wrong
version of RubyGems for multiple installed Ruby in your system.

Please verify your setup first.

What it seems is that you're manually installing each individual gem
using the gem files and not letting rubygems resolve dependencies and
download them automatically.

Is that because you're behind a proxy? See the documentation of gem
install for proxy option and URL:

gem install xxx --http-proxy http://server:port/

Again, that is because you're using an old version of RubyGems and is
trying to install development dependencies as runtime instead.

Word of advice: please use RubyInstaller 1.8.6 (RC1) instead of your
old One-Click installation.
