Asp Forum - GNU Emacs + Ruby (not RoR

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup GNU Emacs (Aquamacs) for developing with Ruby, not
Ruby on Rails.

I'm having a hard time since I'm newbie to Emacs and almost all
references I've found deal with RoR setup, not Ruby.

I've already configured successfully the ruby-mode, snippet.el and
xmpfilter. However, I don't know how to add autocompletion, ri, irb,
etc.

I would appreciate very much any links to detailed instructions for
finishing my setup, and/or Emacs Lisp preference files.

Thanks in advance

Hm... I've used to use Emacs + ruby-mode and I'm pretty OK with the
default setup. Autocomplete is always here--just hit Alt+/ :)

As to ri and irb--I run them from the shell. The only ruby-related
thing I love to run from Emacs is 'ruby -rdebug'...

About that... I, particularly, can't get rdebug to work properly with Emacs.
I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I've got rdebug.el loaded, and
everytime I call "M-x rdebug", I get a new empty buffer with my ruby file
preceded by two ^Z, the little arrow pointing to its first line (which is
also empty). rdebug console also refers to the filename preceded by the two
^Z.
Do you have any tips for that or does it just work?

Thanks for your replies.

Could you post your emacs configuration file for Ruby? I want to see
if I'm missing anything.

Hm... I cannot issue `M-x rdebug'--it's not recognized by Emacs,
though rdebug.el is somewhere under site-lisp/... But I use `M-x
gdb', `ruby -rdebug myfile.rb' and then it works smoothly.

It's Debian lenny, GNU Emacs 22.1.1, ruby-1.8.6.

Hope this helps.

As I've said I use default setup--there is nothing ruby-specific in
my .emacs...

Are you using emacs from the command line, or the GUI? I'm presently
using nano and am looking to switch to emacs.
