GVIM Gives Ruby Compiler errror

#1 09-07-2008, 05:09 PM

I have just loaded gvim on my laptop along with ruby.

When I try amd run a simple ruby program from gvim with the command:

:ruby.exe vimrubytest.rb

I get an error:
Syntax Error: (eval): 312: compile error

The ruby file is pretty simple:

puts ("A")

It compiles and runs when I execute it from the command line and from my
other installation of gvim from my desktop.

I have c:\ruby and c:\ruby\bin and c: ruby\lib in my path

I have the latest vim installed 7.2 and it was compiled with ruby support.

Any ideas why this error is given or what clues it gives me to debug the
situation.

Someone on the Googlle VIM group found my error.

Instead off starting like :ruby.exe filename.rb I should have typed
:rubyfile filelname.rb
This solved my issue
