Someone at Ruby-Talk. I had a thread running last month under the Subject "gem under cygwin - is it supposed to work?", because I already had different problems with using the Windows gem under Cygwin. I then got as an advice to use under cygwin "gem install -r" (I had left out the -r option before), so I assumed that, if I only get the options right, I can safely use the Windows gem for Cygwin too....
