ExexJS::Runtime Error in Users#index and Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError Cygwin

Below is what the page tells me at http://localhost:3000/ I am trying to figure out how to fix this but I don't know why it's occuring in the first place any ideas?
So far I tried updating gems I still have the same problem however.

Sometimes comes up as
Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError in Users#index
Frequently comes up as ExecJS::RuntimeError in Users#index

Showing /home/Doug/Projects/demo_app/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #6 raised:

incomplete "\n" on UTF-16LE
(in /home/Doug/Projects/demo_app/app/assets/javascripts/users.js.coffee)

this occures after I've run the following commands in this order and then try to view my rails app on my local machine for testing purposes.

1.

Code:

rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string

Code:

 rake db:migrate

Code:

rails server

4. I type in localhost:3000/users

the error log on the server localhost:3000.

Code:

Found the solution to the cygwin problem. The error frequently occures when there is lack of javascript support, Cygwin has another constraint that a old version of javascript support is the only known fix such as node.js version 0.4.12. Here is the solution I used works at least as of this post's date.

Code:

wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.12.tar.gz
tar xvfz node-v0.4.12.tar.gz
cd node-v0.4.12/
./configure
make
make install

Many thanks to James on stackoverflow for the compilable code version of node.js for cygwin.
