you don't use the Ruby interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim
without this DLL file.
+You need to install the right version of Ruby for this to work. You can find
+the package to download from:
+http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download/release.html
+Currently that is ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mswin32.zip
+
To use the Ruby interface the Ruby DLL must be in your search path. In a
console window type "path" to see what directories are used.
The name of the DLL must match the Ruby version Vim was compiled with.
-Currently the name is "ruby18.dll". That is for Ruby 1.8. To know for sure
-edit "gvim.exe" and search for "ruby\d*.dll\c".
+Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby191.dll". That is for Ruby 1.9.1. To know
+for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "ruby\d*.dll\c".
+
+If you want to build Vim with Ruby 1.9.1, you need to edit the config.h file
+and comment-out the check for _MSC_VER.
