The problem seems to be that the 1.8.4 One Click Installer uses Ruby 1.8.4  
CVS HEAD as of 2006-04-14 (as Curt said in [ruby-talk:199979]), while the  
official 1.8.4 was released on 2005-12-25. The node.h that is included in  
the rubynode distribution is the one from the official release.

So you would need to somehow get the 1.8.4 source as of 2006-04-14 to  
cleanly solve this. But the current stable snapshot should also work,  
since node.h wasn't modified since 2006-04-14.
