Re: ruby for cygwin comes without gem command
As Shankar Unni says, don't try to install gem for cygwin using the gem that comes with the Ruby One-Click Installer for Windows. Instead, get the tarball and install it using the included script. Since rubygems is pure ruby, you don't have to worry about having a compiler installed. It should just work with what the default cygwin install plus ruby and its dependencies. To install it, do the following steps: 1. Download tarball from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 (currently rubygems-0.9.3.tgz) 2. Unpack the tarball 3. Go into the directory containing setup.rb 4.

And don't try to install a native gem from the main ruby site and download gems using that, or you'll end up with a mishmash of cygwin and native libraries for ruby.
