Sorry for I’m a newbie of IronRuby. I just want to do a most simple thing in IronRuby: a = 10 puts a then I got a lots of exception message, said that the “a” is a undefined local variable. But I can do this in ruby. ---

Yes, this is expected for the time being. Only interactive console is affected. Please, use globals as a workaround until it gets fixed.
