I don't quite remember how I fixed it, but I think I found this page: http://blog.labnotes.org/2005/11/06/setting-up-ruby-gems-on-cygwin/ He says that he experienced the problem, and he thinks it's because he had both the one-click installer and cygwin (I have this same setup at work -- both one-click installer and cygwin). He didn't dig too much into it, though, he just installed rubygems manually. I think this is what I did, too, but I'm not sure. To install rubygems without a working rubygem setup: - Follow the link on his blog to rubygems - Download the latest tarball (.tar.gz) - Unpack the tarball using cygwin or 7-zip - Run "ruby setup.rb install" inside the directory I think it's a pure ruby package (no C code) so you shouldn't need anything extra to install it. Once you've installed it, you should hopefully be able to use gems.
