Subject: Locale number formatting

I've searched and searched for this and have not found an answer.

ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32]
MSWindows 7

How do you format a number to a current locale? (ie: 1000 -> 1,000 for
'en')

I found the gem package "locale" (locale-2.0.5), but after installation
the advised simplest example in the HowTo:

----------------------
require 'locale'

Locale.current
----------------------

displays when run

----------------------
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
require': cannot load such file -- dl/win32 (LoadError)
        from
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
        from
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale/driver/win32.rb:16:in `<top
(required)>'
        from
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems
custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale.rb:32:in
`require_driver'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale.rb:74:in `init'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale.rb:90:in
`driver_module'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale.rb:178:in
`current'
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/locale.rb:212:in
`candidates'
        from locale.rb:4:in `<main>'
----------------------

Even so, the description of the package leaves no clue as to how or even
if this package provides a way to format data to a locale.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
