Dear Uncutstone,
 
I have Ruby 1.8.4 and the latest (last-week's) edition of Cygwin  installed,
also FXRuby and FOX, on a Windows XP machine.
I had trouble using Windows/Cygwin and Ruby  bindings-software (ruby-gsl) 
myself,
just some time ago. None of these problems was Ruby's fault or the
fault of those Ruby-bindings-for-software-xyz. If you can't fix them using  
the
rebaseall for the Windows DLLs, I'd suggest you
 
- either upgrade to Windows XP/Cygwin (which may still cause you  problems,
I get mad at cygwin once in 3 months),
- you install a dual-boot with Linux (may be troublesome with respect to  
disk space),
- you drop Windows altogether (may cause problems if you want to scan
or do other multimedia things).
 
- you keep your Windows and try compiling with MINGW 
_www.mingw.org_ (http://www.mingw.org) . I have no experience with  this, but 
people who know
it claim that it gives more usable output than Cygwin  compilations.
 
I had used Windows 98 earlier (I didn't know about Ruby then, so I didn't  use
it, but I remember that I had 3-5 crashes a day for no obvious  reason.
This has stopped in Windows XP.
 
 
 
Best regards,
 
Axel
