What version of Ruby does Command-T need to compile?

    I'm getting some errors with 1.8, perhaps I don't have ruby development header or something similar?

    The code itself is compatible with either Ruby 1.8 or 1.9, but you don't actually have a choice: you must use the exact version of Ruby that was used when building Vim itself.

    This is pretty easy on UNIX-y systems, because even if you don't know what version was used to build Vim, building Vim from source is trivial.

    On Windows things are a bit trickier as the entire open source ecosystem is hampered by Microsoft's efforts to make development with free tools unpleasant. One known working combination is listed in the docs. Other people have reported their success in various posts on these forums and in the issue tracker. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately) I don't use Windows myself, so I can't offer any support for troubleshooting Windows problems beyond advising people to look at the posts by other Windows users.
