simple application with GUI. Can ruby do this? or do i need to install
any software?
Any documentation about this?

If you've installed one-click Ruby, you already have FxRuby (http://www.fxruby.org/\) and Ruby/Tk available to you. They have their drawbacks, but both are fine for simple GUI development for your own use.
For more complex Ruby GUI development, you might want to look into one of the bigger, more sophisticated libraries. They offer more widgets and a more polished appearance. I'd suggest either wxRuby (http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/\) or Ruby-GNOME2 (http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/\). They are both very capable and have decent documentation.
An additional option is Shoes (shoooes.net - This website is for sale! - shoooes Resources and Information.). It is very lightweight, but you cannot use it with the One-click installer.
There are other options; my forthcoming report on a recent GUI survey will provide more information on current patterns of usage.
