If I understand it correctly, there is some issue with libcurl. But I
don't know how to correct it...

Does the gem really include the cross/curl-7.19.4.win32 folder? Please
inspect the files ship with the gem:
gem spec typhoeus files --remote
If the files are there, then we can look into why is not compiling.
There is a huge chance the files are not there and the extconf is
looking for them.
If that is the case, you will need to provide options to extconf
process with something like this:
gem instal typhoeus -- --with-curl-dir=...
I don't know the exact parameters, you will need to look inside the
extconf of the gem to know what directories it is using for
configuration (look for dir_config invocations)
Or you can try with --with-opt-dir too.

See above comments, if you need libcurl, search the group for another
thread about it.

A while back I tried to get various curl bindings to work with ruby on
windows, and I couldn't get typhoeus to work. I ended up using the
curb gem instead [1]. One user reported success by editing the
extconf.rb [2], but I couldn't get that method to work when I tried
it. Just now when looking for that issue, I noticed another user has
reported success building fat binary gems for windows, and has them
available on their fork [3]. I can't personally vouch for these, but
it might be worth trying.
