The api.so includeded in the gem package is not a correct version.
It is not MinGW compiled version but VC++ compiled version.

You can download the correct api.so for 1.9.x installer for the time being
at http://116.122.37.135/api.so

Copy api.so to C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/win32-api-1.4.6-x86-mingw32/lib/win32/
