BlueCloth error on windows

Having a bit of a bluecloth getting nightmare to work on windows. I grabbed the gem from the site (since it gem install bluecloth

doesn't work). However, I cannot get the library to load

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> require 'bluecloth'
LoadError: no such file to load -- bluecloth_ext
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bluecloth-2.0.5-x86-mingw32/lib/bluecloth.rb:156
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'

        from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0>

any thoughts / suggestions? (also, don't use windows = P)

I ended up using rubyinstaller.org instead of the one click installer, with the devkit plugin. This allows you to create your own extensions in windows without any headaches. Then I got the Gem (not the mingw32 version) from the website and installed the gem with no problem.
