I think you'll need to upgrade your version Ruby. It appears you have 1.8.2.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here about another way to install a C compiler. If you want to compile Ferret yourself you'll need to get ahold of VC6 or possibly MingW but I recommend just upgrading Ruby and using the precompiled gem. Let me know if you are still having problems.
