Answer 1

You can open "win32.h" found in the include directory fo your ruby version.

Then comment out the lines where the "clock_gettime" "clock_getres" functions are declared.

Answer 2

Ruby 1.9.3 was compiled with GCC 4.5.2, which is DevKit DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe available from RubyInstaller's download page

You downloaded the newer DevKits, that are only compatible with Ruby 2.0.0 release, as indicated in RubyInstaller announcement.

To clarify:

• Ruby 1.8.7: tdm-32-4.5.2
• Ruby 1.9.2: tdm-32-4.5.2
• Ruby 1.9.3: tdm-32-4.5.2
• Ruby 2.0.0: mingw64-32-4.7.2 (and 64bits version for 64bits Ruby)

I've added a clarification to RubyInstaller download page about this.

Hope that helps
