Not exactly, I'm found this following versions to work for me on Windows
7 64bit:

ruby 1.9.1p430 ( rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p430 )

And then from command line I installed "gem install qtbindings".

qtbindings is afaik a recent approach because qtruby4 doesn't work out
of the box for non-windows plattforms, at least it didn't for me.

I'm with you here, until I disocvered qtbindings. It still a bit rough
and being worked on, though. I've set up a recent environment for python
and Qt and it worked much more flawless.
