Unable to load win32/api.so from ruby script

Question

The command run the following :

C:\V4\framework\scripts > ruby SCM.rb

The error I get is the following :

C:/Rubby/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in require: 126: The specified module could not be found. - C:/Rubby/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/win32-api-1.4.8-x86-mingw32/lib/win32/ruby19/win32/api.so (LoadError) from C:/Rubby/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require' from C:/Rubby/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/win32-api-1.4.8-x86-mingw32/lib/win32/api.rb:2:in

The first few lines of the calling script looks like following :

require 'watir/win32ole'
require 'windows/com'
require 'windows/window/message'

The second line is giving the Load Error. I googled and am not able to find a solution.
