Does your script name and/or directory name contain spaces? SciTE has  
problems managing whitespace characters in its default settings. Open up  
your Ruby properties file (Options → Edit properties → Open  
ruby.properties) and look for the lines saying

command.go._.rb=ruby $(FileNameExt)  
command.go._.rbw=rubyw $(FileNameExt)

. Note that they appear twice, once for GTK and once for Windows. Choose  
the one according to your platform and change them to:

command.go._.rb=ruby “$(FileNameExt)”  
command.go._.rbw=rubyw “$(FileNameExt)”

You could also make Ruby display warnings by default. Use:

command.go._.rb=ruby -w “$(FileNameExt)”  
command.go._.rbw=rubyw -w “$(FileNameExt)”

Restart SciTE after the modifications.  
If that doesn’t do it, please post the error you’re getting.

Vale,
