ssleay32.dll, postgresql, extension problem - RUBY

I've been fighting this problem on Vista with EventMachine, although
not directly with postgresql.

I have yet to find a solution, although I suspect it will be necessary
in some cases to build everything with the same stack.

Maybe, INCLUDE and LIB environment variables are set for
PostgreSQL?

If rubygems is already loaded then aren't the symbols for openssl
already present in memory before any postgresql extension is loaded?

Explicitly setting ENV in the extconf.rb script didn't seem to help.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

I tried setting both LIB and LIBDIR to C:\ruby\bin, both in the shell
itself and via ENV, but it didn't work.

Have you been able to build and load ruby-pg against PostgreSQL 8.3 with
the one click installer? If so, how did you do it?
