Just for note, I'm forwarding this response to the ruby-opengl-devel mailing list. In regards to your instlal problems. It seems that you are trying to install the pure ruby version of this gem. Please try the Win32 version that should have pre-compiled bindings for Windows. If you install the pure Ruby version it will try to compile the ruby-opengl bindings which requires you have the proper development environment installed to compile properly.
