I downloded Ruby the other day and it came with freeRIDE and SciTE Editor. I tried both and can't figure out how to configure either to run my programs. The SciTE settings files confuze me and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the freeRIDE to run code when I click run. It just out puts

code:

>ruby C:\My Documents\Daniel\Ruby Programs\start.rb >exit

and in the MS DOS-Promt it outputs

code:

Cannot find file 'CMD' <or one of it's components>. Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

It's not that big of a deal because I can always just save the file and run it manually but it would be nice if I could set up either of these programs to run the code when I click run.[/code]

The FreeRIDE problem is easily remedied Go to Preferences and there should be an option there called something like "Run programs in console" or something along those lines. Make sure it is checked. Then you should have no more problems Enjoy Ruby!
