Following the "getting started" from the Ruby User Guide, I typed
>>ruby -v<< and I got >>ruby 1.4.0 (1999-08-13) [i386-cygwin]<<, as
expected.

Then I tried: >>ruby -le 'print "hello world\n"'<< and got >>ruby:0:
Can't mktemp (fatal)<<.

I have no idea what this means. If there's an answer in the FAQ or
somewhere, I'm sorry, I can't find it. :-( Can anyone help, please? [I
assume this is a very simple problem...]
