You need a compiler, specifically: Visual C 6.0

A sane and non-biased suggestion: try RubyInstaller, the successor of
One-Click Ruby Installer:

http://rubyinstaller.org/

And also install the development kit (link available in the download
page), instructions here:

http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/development-kit

You can find answer to some questions in our FAQ page:
