"You have to install development tools first." Windows

Hi everybody...!
I'm having some trouble with mkmf.
I'm on Ruby 1.9.1, Windows
Each time I try to use have_library (pretty sure it's not the only
method that doesn't work..), it raises errors:
C:/ruby191/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:362:in `try_do': The complier failed
to genera
te an executable file. (RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.
from C:/ruby191/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:415:in `try_link0'

from C:/ruby191/lib/ruby/1.9.1/mkmf.rb:718:in `have_library'
from extconf.rb:6:in `<main>'
-----
I wonder why? And if it is really caused by the fact that development
tools are missing, how do we install them? Never heard of such a thing
before.
Hope someone can help me.
Thank you very much

I'd guess this means that you have to install a C-compiler,
specifically, the one that was used to compile your ruby.
Check the output of "ruby -v". If it looks like "mswin32" then
Microsoft's C Compiler (MSVC) is what you need. If it looks like
"mingw32" then MingW is what you need.
If you have some choice, then I'd see if a MingW build fits your needs.
It's smaller and self-contained. There's numerous places you can go, but
the wxRuby project is currently offering a ready-to-go Ruby-1.9 with
compilation tools for other libraries:
