An X server is the way that a Unix system talks to a graphical display. If
you've got code which expects to talk to an X server, then it'll fail if you
don't have one.

I'm pretty sure you get one with cygwin; I'd be surprised if the
RubyInstaller comes with one. However I'm not a Windows user, I just
occasionally look over people's shoulders :-)
