Beginner question on ruby sql

When I run sqlsh.rb from my c:/ruby, I received the error

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in 'require': no such file

to

load -- readline (LoadError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10
from c:/ruby/bin/sqlsh.rb:42:in 'require'
from c:/ruby/bin/sqlsh.rb:42

What am I missing here? My ruby is installed from file
rubywin181-13.exe. Thank you.

You need the readline .dll and ruby bindings.
If you can use the installer for 1.8.2_rc8 I think it is already
included.

If not, you'll need to build the readline dll on your machine
(Readline - Free Software Directory) and get the ruby bindings (try
the .so from http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/\).

Hi.
I installed 1.8.2_rc8 and received an application error on OCI.dll when I run sqlsh.rb from the ruby/bin directory. Is there anything I can do abt it? Pardon me if this is an obvious question. I'm just picking up Ruby today. Thank you.
