For Cygwin's Ruby (which is a completely different beast to
the native Win32
build of Ruby), you'll need to build P4Ruby from source.
Download the Cygwin
build of the Perforce API, and the P4Ruby source, and follow
the build
instructions. Let me know if you have any problems.
The Cygwin API is here:
ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r05.1/bin.cygwinx86/p4api.ta
r
(2005.1 is the latest build that's posted on the FTP site,
it's
built-on-request though, so if you want a 2006.1 build
contact
support perforce.com and ask them to request the build for
you).

P4Ruby already runs on OS X  . I also
suspect (but haven't yet proved) that
the nasty hack I did to make it work on older versions of OS
X isn't required
on 10.4, so it should be a pretty easy port. If you get a
chance to confirm
that for me, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tony
