Since it seems you have DevKit installed already, run this command 

gem install ruby-debug-ide --platform=ruby --pre

As mentioned in that post, it's a bug fixed in not yet released version of ruby-debug-ide

Edit:

This seems to work (Windows 7 64 bit):

gem install ruby-debug-ide --pre

gem install ruby-debug-base19x --pre
