regarding GD lib, I'm on windows haven't got a problem using it, are you 
using the pragprog ruby install? mingw? I use the later, didn't tried 
compiling gd myself, got the binary from the /binaries/mingw|mswin/ext 
folder in a mirror
for mingw
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/ruby-GD-0.7.4-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz

for mswin didn't see one, but most probably the mingw would work with 
the mswin install(but I could be wrong), just unpack the GD.so to the 
right dir i.e. ruby/lib/1.8/i386-msvcrt , the i386-msvcrt could be 
different on mswin install, just look where the other *.so are.

and thats if using ruby-GD, see:
