hi, we had the same problem on PCLinuxOS 2007.

post your .rb and .rhtml code here, please.

somebody might need that version of java.  
what distro you using? arch linux?

some of us have been having trouble with eclipse or aptana, with ROR.  
we are looking at NetBeans 6.0 for just ruby, and it looks good.  
just fyi.
