Hello - I am trying a new ruby IDE (Im very new to ruby, I was using Eclipse with a ruby addon). I downloaded the Netbeans with Ruby install package. Got it up and running, and when I try to execute/run a demo .rb I get the following error ![](http://24.110.142.91/images/netbeans_ruby_error.png) Can anyone help me with this? ---

I don’t have a good solution for you, as I’m not using JRuby. But I use the Ruby interpreter, and plugged in the fast debugger (for Windows). Someday I will get into JRuby, as that is the only way to run Ruby code on the mainframe. Like you, I just started using NetBeans as a Ruby IDE. I had too many problems trying to get Eclipse running under Linux and Windows. dvn ---

For JRuby, I recommend installing the NetBeans 6.5 release candidate (available at [www.netbeans.org](http://www.netbeans.org)). There have been a lot of updates to JRuby since 6.1. I’m using the NetBeans 6.5 beta right now and it’s rock solid. ---

Did you install the IDE with other languages (I think it supports up to around 10 or so), or the Netbeans with jRuby and thats it?
