Subject: Newbie: Problem with irb

Hi,

I'm getting problem with irb, rdoc, and erb on Ruby 1.8.1 for windows
(VC built binaries). Everytime I invoke irb, rdoc, and erb, it returns
with load error like below:

C:\RUBY\BIN\RUBY.EXE No such file or directory -- irb (LoadError)
C:\RUBY\BIN\RUBY.EXE No such file or directory -- erb (LoadError)
C:\RUBY\BIN\RUBY.EXE No such file or directory -- rdoc (LoadError)

I'm using the zipped distro, unpacking it to C:\Ruby (later changed it
to C:\RUBY), and including the bin directory in the path env variable.

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\RUBY\BIN

What baffles me is ruby.exe and rubyw.exe runs fine. I actually have
written and run some working codes with them. Furthermore, when I 1st
tested Ruby (unpacking them to temp directory and not including them
in the path env variable), irb runs fine. Now, even if I remove ruby
from the path, it returns the same error message.

Plz help

TIA
