well startx is a command that , in Linux, gives you access to a  graphical
interface (so people live happily with a command line, for most of their  
lives).
I am not exactly an expert on Cygwin settings, so I just responded to  your
original email, after having tried the commands I wrote on my Cygwin  
installation.
Maybe this is a DISPLAY variable setting thing which was done  automatically
in my setup but not in yours.. But when you've got it startx working,
you're in Cygwin and perfectly all right. You can go on from  there.
From what you've written, Cygwin runs ok (using startx), you can start  
Gnuplot
and Ruby individually.
So now, the only things you must make sure now is to conform to  both
Ruby and Gnuplot syntax :-).
Best regards,
