When installing Jekyll from gem using gem install jekyll, I am getting the following build error. I am using Cygwin on Windows 7 and have built the posix-spawn gem from source prior to installing.
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing jekyll-1.1.2.gem:

I am using gem v2.0.7, ruby v1.9.3p448, gcc v4.8.1 and g++ v4.8.1
Any ideas? I have no idea when it comes to Ruby gems. I cannot find any information on this "stemmer".
