I think it's a problem with the gem itself. It's looking for a file 
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/reve-0.0.131/VERSION and can't find 
it.

Some gems are not compatible with ruby 1.9.x, and some are not 
compatible with Windows.

http://www.crudvision.com/reve-ruby-eve-online-api-library/ was last 
updated July 2007, although the ChangeLog in SVN has an entry from 
2008-01-13. So maybe it falls into the "needs modification to work with 
1.9" camp.

If you're "crashing into Ruby", this is as good a place to start as any 
:-)

Start at reve.rb line 136, work out what it's doing, fix it. Maybe for 
now just create the VERSION file that it's looking for.

Having said that, looking in Subversion I don't see any attempt to open 
VERSION, so maybe this has been fixed already, and you just need to 
build a more up-to-date gem (or install directly from SVN).
http://svn.crudvision.com/reve/trunk/lib/reve.rb

But also, maybe the repo has moved - that one shows revision r117, but 
your gem claims to be r131. Maybe it's somebody else' fork.
