Assuming that you have installed Ruby via RubyInstaller, have you installed the "devkit"?

If no, then you may be able to install it by running ridk install in your terminal. Once you've installed the dev tools kit, open a fresh terminal window and try installing Jekyll again.

Note:You need to have downloaded the executable containing devkit setup to install the devtools.
