Has anyone been able to install and use JRuby on Cygwin via RVM? If so, how? I'm able to install RVM and JRuby on Cygwin, but am unable to install any gems. The issue seems to be with path settings.

PATH

/home/Ari/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.4/bin:/home/Ari/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.4@global/bin:/home/Ari/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.7.4/bin:/home/Ari/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/Ari/bin

you need to provide more details, how do you install the gems, are you getting any errors? please include echo $PATH; gem env – mpapis
@mpapis: I've updated my post to include path, gem env, installation command, and result details. – Ari
does the directory C:/home/Ari/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.4/cache exist? – mpapis
@mpapis: No, C:/home/Ari/... does not exist and therein lies the problem. $HOME is set to /home/Ari, where the root is /cygdrive/c/Cygwin or C:/Cygwin. But RVM prepends C:/ rather than one of the two aforementioned root paths. – Ari
@mpapis: Note: rvm use jruby results in: Using /home/Ari/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.4. And so which jruby yields: /home/Ari/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.7.4/bin/jruby – Ari

cygwin is not fully supported yet by RVM - there is a ticket to improve it https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/1783 - please add your finding there so it can be improved.
