You're receiving this because the gem that you're trying to use has
been compiled for Ruby 1.8.x and these binaries are not compatible
with Ruby 1.9.x

I would recommend installation of the Development Kit as documented in
RubyInstaller wiki:

http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

And when find a gem that does not work, for the installation as shown
in the DevKit instructions (gem install xxx --platform=ruby)

Please note that not all gems suffer this problem. The best to do is
contact the gem author and politely ask provide him a gem with
binaries for Ruby 1.9 too.
