I had trouble with both cygwin ruby and 1-click ruby installed at the
same time. You need to go one or the other. I''m a big fan of cygwin
and use it all day long, but I found the combo of cygwin, cygwin/ruby,
and rails to not work reliably.
Now, when I do rails development on windows I use the combination of 1
click installer for ruby, and cygwin for editing (emacs) and
subversion. I also use the windows mysql. Basically I have command
windows open for ruby, rails, and mysql, and I have cygwin windows
open for everything else, such as editing and tailing the ruby logs.
Note that I no longer have ruby and rails installed in cygwin.
I hope this is helpful.
