I ran into this message today trying to install watir 1.6.5 on ruby
1.8.6. This was on a completely fresh installation of Ruby 1.8.6
(patchlevel 111). Hopefully you aren’t in a situation where you have
to do this, but if you do, just install an earlier version of
activesupport. I used 2.3.9, but 2.3.10 is the last in v2. Seems
like it’s a good thing that we are trying to get off of depending on
activesupport.

C:\ >gem install watir -v 1.6.5 --no-rdoc --no-ri

Another solution would have been to install Watir 1.6.7 and/or Ruby
1.8.7 altogether.

BTW

What is recommended version of ruby for latest watir and watir-webdriver?

Googling doesn't help me a lot in that

Is 1.9.2 is still good enough?

I think 1.9.2 and newer should be fine. It probably works on 1.8.7 too. (I am using 1.9.3.)
