Well, are you going to use ruby as login shell?  I do not recomment
it, because Ruby is a script language, like Perl.

Anyway, to load script before executing, you'd better re-compile
ruby to do so.  Modify main.c as below, and re-compile.

  int
  main(argc, argv, envp)
      int argc;
      char **argv, **envp;
  {
  #if defined(NT)
      NtInitialize(&argc, &argv);
  #endif

      ruby_init();
      ruby_options(argc, argv);
      rb_load_file("/home/julian/.rubyrc");  /* this line added */
      ruby_run();
  }

Hope this helps.

I'm not really sure whether plain Ruby should load particular script
before executing.  But I feel it is not required.
