Subject: compiling FXRuby-1.0.17 under cygwin

I'm having trouble compiling FXRuby under cygwin. here's the error i'm
getting, then i'll explain a little more about my setup:

$ ruby install.rb setup
install.rb: entering setup phase...

-------------

this is running with ruby-1.6.8 (compiled under the latest cygwin too,
plus i've tried it with ruby 1.8.0 with the same results). I've
modified the Makefiles in FXRuby to use gcc-2/g++-2 (cygwin now
defaults to gcc-3.2), but this hasn't helped at all either

anyone have any ideas?

thanks
