Getting started problem -- Ruby and SciTE

Tim Rowe

12/10/2007 10:12:00 PM

I've just installed the MS Windows Ruby installation, and the syntax
highlighting in the version of SciTE that ships with it doesn't work
properly with the examples in The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide (it doesn't
recognise that the regexp has ended in the WordIndex class in the "Standard
Types" chapter. I've downloaded a more recent version of SciTE, which
recognises the syntax but I can't get Tools | Go to find the Ruby compiler
(the earlier version works fine).

Can anyone give me any clues on getting a nice, working, syntax-highlit IDE
for Ruby?

(FWIW, I can't get the Ruby.net VS integration working either, but that's
another issue).

If the syntax highlight is broken, please report a ticket in the

Well, as I said, the latest version of SciTE handles the syntax just fine,
so it looks as if it's fixed -- I just can't get the latest version to find
the Ruby compiler. But I've switched from SciTE to Eclipse, which is a bit
more heavyweight than I would like on this laptop but seems to be working
just gerat, so it looks as if I'm sorted now. Thanks for your help.
