Arco,
What OS are you running under?
I am setting up stuff on Vista (InstantRails and Watir) and found
that most things worked from administrator login, but some did
not work as regular login. Suggest try opening Cygwin window
as administrator by right click on the Cygwin icon
("Run as administrator") to open the window.
Good Luck,
Al Snow
