You need to tell the extconf script where to find the curl headers,
something like
gem install somegem -- --with-curl-include=path/to/curl/headers --with-
curl-lib=/path/to/curl/lib
This being windows I think you would also have to put the curl dll (if
their is one) somewhere where it will be found at run time.
Last but not least, do you have a C compiler/toolchain installed (and
if my memory is correct this must match what was used to build ruby.
if as the name suggests your curl headers/libraries are of mingw32
heritage then you'll want a mingw32 compiled ruby for everything to
work together (this may already be the case, I don't know much about
ruby on windows)
