Installing Cygwin with Ruby is easy enough. Avoid installing Ruby in windows as well because it results in a mulch of confusion further down the line.
Gems is pure ruby, so not that hard to install from within Cygwin:
- Download gems from RubyForge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/ (rubygems-x.x.x.tgz)
- In the unpacked directory, run:
ruby setup.rb install gem update --system
(Note: as of 22/3/11 gems 1.6.2 won't install with cygwin default ruby 1.8.6. Older gems (1.3.7 don't work either, they install gems in a windows-ruby-only appropriate place.v)
