That's the problem.  It's designed for people using Ruby from the
Command Prompt under Windows, or clicking on those nice red, green
and black icons you get  with .rb files.  I've had to add in extra
files to get cygwin to co-operate, but in the end I think I ended up
using a cygwin ruby for cygwin work.

Mind you, I'm speaking from a position of total ignorance about
SFV3.5, so I don't know what extra things get setup with that and
what it expects.  Hopefully you'll get a reply from someone else
using it.  I do use Unix (Solaris, + others) but don't know of
SFV3.5
