If you do a fresh install of Cygwin and include the ruby parser (I
can't remember if it's there by default), ruby does not work. You get
a really obscure error msg having something to do with "ubygems". To
make it work, you have to
unsetenv RUBYOPT
Took me a long time to figure that one out. This should be fixed of course.

Rubygems is not installed with the cygwin ruby. You have to install it
separately yourself.
Meaning you have to do a clean uninstall of rubygems before doing a fresh
install of ruby.
