Can you require any of the others?

Have you run

require ‘rubygems’

first?

Please put a little more effort into this

Just a hunch.. can you require any of the gems with mingw32 dependencies?

Sorry! I didn't get you.

nokogiri (1.5.6 x86-mingw32) ffi (1.3.1 x86-mingw32)

Notice how they both have mingw32 in the version. They're built on operating system specific libraries. In Windows, they need mingw32 to build.

Wondering if the require problem you're having is related to mingw32 instead of just Nokogiri.

Still I am having the same issue. Any advice to resolve the same?
