Various problems after installing ruby 1.9.1

Ruby

Team,
I unzipped ruby 1.9.1 where ruby 1.8.6 was located and since then I am
having some problems and therefore will appreciate some help.
Please notice that I still CAN run my ruby scripts, at least the few I
tried.

C:>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1 (2008-10-28 revision 19983) [i386-mswin32]

C:>irb
Generates msg: This application has failed to start because readline.dll
was
not found. Re-installing may fix this problem.

But irb actually works after clicking OK on the dialog.

If I try to install any gem (I tried irb & wxruby) I get one or both of
the
following two errors, one after the other, in a dialog box:
Also, if I run gem (for example gem unpack) I get the second error
(zlib)
listed below:

This application has failed to start because SSLEAY32.dll was not
found.
Re-installing may fix this problem.
This application has failed to start because zlib.dll was not found.
Re-installing may fix this problem.

C:>gem install irb

THIS is the first error. I suggest to restore the old directory
contents and reinstall in another place.

Robert,
Thank you for your reply!
I actually completely removed the old version.
This time I unzipped 1.9.1 on its own directory and ensure that
environment
variables were properly set.
The version is properly returned as in:
C:>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1 (2008-10-28 revision 19983) [i386-mswin32]

But I am still getting the same errors.
As you know, Ruby 1.9.1 is a zipped version, which I unzipped on
ruby-1.9.1.
I then proceeded to update the path and class variables to reflect
ruby-1.9.1.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you

Hello “Ruby S.”

You’re getting those errors since you’re missing the binaries required
to zlib, openssl and readline.

Those binaries exist in One-Click installer because the package
developers decided to bundle those to ease the users life.

There is no official package for 1.9.1 of One-Click Installer, so you
will need to manually hunt down (download and extract).

Use as reference the following:
