Hello,

For either mongrel or thin to install, they need a Ruby installation
capable of compiling extensions.

The error you're receiving is clearly that, the inability of your
installation to compile.

I would suggest you use RubyInstaller version of 1.9.1 in combination
with our DevKit.

You can find more information and even details of this in our website
along with tutorials:

Something to note: that specific repository is not the oficial Mongrel
one.

Version 1.1.6 never existed, and fauna holds the official codebase,
which is compatible with Ruby 1.9.1 but not newer Rails:
