Subject: Cygwin Ruby Woes

Hello, I recently switched from the one-click Windows installer ruby to
cygwin ruby because I'm writing some C extensions. Everything has worked out
great so far except for the fact that I can't start ruby outside of the cygwin
environment. I need a way to invoke my script without my users having to go
into cygwin and manually type ruby program.exe. Right now, ruby is installed
in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin. I've tried adding that directory to my Windows
path, but I get "A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found.". I'm
using the latest cygwin and ruby 1.6.8. The program I'm attempting to run is
C:\cygwin\home\Solids\libserial-0.2\wedge.rb, which translates to
/home/Solids/libserial-0.2/wedge.rb inside of cygwin.

Any help would be greatly apprecitaed,
