I did not know that cygwin has a ruby package by now. Nice.

What Error message do you get for

bash-2.05b$ cat >check.c
#include <ncurses.h>
int main;
bash-2.05b$ `ruby -r rbconfig -e 'print Config::CONFIG["CC"], " ", 
Config::CONFIG["CFLAGS"]'` check.c

(produce a check.c file that includes #<ncurses.h>; and try to compile
that file with the C compiler and CFLAGS that ruby knows of.)

Maybe the precompiled ruby from cygwin has problems. You could try to 
recompile ruby yourself.
