You’ve installed RubyInstaller DevKit (MinGW+MSYS) while the version of
Ruby you have installed is looking for Visual Studio instead.
So: you’re mixing a version of Ruby with the wrong compiler and by that,
is not working.
Dunno where you obtained that version of Ruby (or how old is it) but you
have two options:
A) Get Visual Studio for that version of Ruby
If is ‘i386-mswin32’ then you need Visual Studio 6.0, which is highly
unlikely available free and online
B) Use RubyInstaller + RubyInstaller’s DevKit instead
Removing that version of Ruby and use RubyInstaller, which is compiled
with GCC and the DevKit is freely available.
All the information about RubyInstaller and the DevKit is available in
the website where you obtained the DevKit.
I recommend you use latest Ruby 1.8.7 and DevKit 4.5.2
Good luck,

Seems you didn’t read my response.
The version of Ruby you’re using (which is platform i386-mswin32) is
expecting you have Visual Studio installed.
What you installed using RubyInstaller DevKit was GCC, which is not
compatible with the version of the Ruby you have installed.
You need to use a version of Ruby provided by RubyInstaller and the
DevKit.
The DevKit only works with GCC-compiled Ruby, not Visual Studio one.
So, if you execute this:
ruby -v
And see “i386-mswin32”, DevKit will not work with that version of Ruby,
period. There is nothing I can do to help you beyond what I’ve stated
before: get RubyInstaller.
I can’t help you further if you still have problems understanding what
I’ve stated above.
