I also had the same problem with Ruby provided by Cygwin and I had to unset RUBYOPT. Now that I have recompiled Ruby on Cygwin, I got the latest version (1.8.5p12) and ruby and irb works perfectly even if RUBYOPT is set. I have now the two installation side by side working perfectly. When I use the Cygwin shell, the PATH has /usr/local/bin ... before the PATH set from Windows, so my new ruby on Cygwin is used. When I use the Windows Command Prompt or if I launch something from the explorer ..., the ruby from the One-Click installer is used. Basically, I use Cygwin for Unix like stuff and I use the One-Click installation for standard Windows use. Chauk-Mean. --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
