Various problems after installing ruby 1.9.1

[Ruby Student]

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.

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

Hello "Ruby Student"

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:
