I followed the guides at:
http://akitaonrails.com/2009/01/13/the-best-environment-for-rails-on-windows
http://alwaysthecritic.typepad.com/atc/2009/03/install-ruby-191-on-windows.html

Then when trying to install any gem.

My ruby/bin contains the following dlls:
libeay32
msvcrt-ruby191
ssleay32
zlib1

I have a previous ruby 1.8.6 installation, using the one-click installer, but have removed it from my PATH.

I have set the following environment variables:
Ruby_home = C:\Development\ruby-1.9.1
PATH = ...;%Ruby_home%\bin;%Ruby_home%\lib

C:\Users\kristian>gem install rails ruby-debug
C:/Development/ruby-1.9.1/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:405: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mswin32]

Turns out the fix is here:
http://blog.orangecabin.com/2009/05/install-ruby-1-9-on-windows-using-zip-binary/

Download the file
First you download the 1.9 package from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
Choose “Ruby 1.9 xxx binary” instead of “Ruby xxx Installer”.

Install it
Just Unpack the zip to c:\ruby.
Then add c:\ruby\bin to windows PATH.
Open a windows command console and type
gem update --system
Oops, it is broken! The binary is missing some dll files.

Let us fix it
zlib

Download zlib windows binary from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm

unzip the package, then find a file named “zlib1.dll”.
Copy “zlib1.dll” to your ruby\bin directory AND rename it to zlib.dll
What the heck?! Why renaming it? Because ruby source code reference the dll as zlib.dll. It is common to use alias like this on Linux. Ruby source was coded on Linux.

openssl

Download openssl windows binary from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/openssl.htm
Unzip it.
Find “libeay32.dll”, copy to ruby\bin. Don’t rename it.
Find “libssl32.dll”, copy to ruby\bin and rename it to ssleay32.dll

readline

Download readline windows binary from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/readline.htm
Unzip it.
Find “readline5.dll”, copy to ruby\bin and rename it to readline.dll

Done

That is all. Now type
gem update --system
then
gem install rails

It works :)

Would be nice if these renamed DLLs were included with the ruby binary zip and also included a small install note for windows.

How to install the binary installations:

Too bad there is no link to that page in ruby-lang.org
