The last time I have tried, Watir worked only with Ruby 1.8, and I see you are using 1.9. It does not solve your problem, but try with Ruby 1.8. – Željko Filipin

Try

gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

and then

gem install watir

One line solution (since I can't vote yet):

gem install watir --source http://gems.github.com

That looks like a proxy problem. Use http_proxy environment variable to setup a tunnel, or download the gems manually from rubygems.

I found this post useful in setting the http_proxy value and then installing.

Looks like this is an old post - but there was nothing marked as the answer :)
