[dn@ dn]$ ruby -r 'irb/main' -e IRB.start
irb(main):001:0> require 'matrix'
true
irb(main):002:0> m1 = Matrix((1,2),(2,4))
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):2: parse error
m1 = Matrix((1,2),(2,4))
               ^
(irb):2: parse error
m1 = Matrix((1,2),(2,4))
                     ^
(irb):2:in `irb_binding'
irb(main):003:0>
