Subject: Re: Ruby-2.0.0-rc2 on Windows under Cygwin. Cannot run IRB, gem, rake, etc

So I figured out the problem. I was just my inadvertence.

I've mistakenly installed Ruby under /usr/local/2.0.0-rc2. I forgot to
put "ruby-" before figures. Then when it was installed I thought that it
was not nice and changed the name of the folder to
/usr/local/ruby-2.0.0-rc2.

But it put shebang strings everywhere like /usr/local/2.0.0-rc2,
without "ruby-". I was impossible to for it to find the resource. So I 
just took away that "ruby-" and it began to work just fine.

But anyway I couldn't install any gems with it. No zlib it says. But I
have installed ALL possible zlibs from cygwin's setup.exe. But anyway it
complains that I have no zlib.

So the lesson I took from it: I must forget about that
Cygwin, throw it away from the comp, and use complete real Unix/Linux.
No any substitutes. They are just waste of time. Unpleasant experience.
