rt.lib, whatever it is, isn't a gem so trying to gem update it does
nothing.

That's normal: it's telling you that you've got multiple versions of
those packages are installed and that it would just go ahead and
remove the old versions.

It's more complicated than that: if the extensions isn't built with
the version that was used to build ruby then nothing good will happen.
You probably also need to play with vcvars32.bar (which sets the
appropriate environment variables for where the compiler is and all
that sort of thing (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
f2ccy3wt(VS.80).aspx)
But anyway, you shouldn't need to do all that.

suggests there's an easy way to get the prebuilt sqlite3 packages.
