Subject: Re: newb: setting up GNU Emacs for Ruby -- help

Here is what I have in my .emacs:

=====
(setq load-path (append load-path '("/path/to/ruby.el")))

(cond (window-system
    (require 'font-lock)
    (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
    (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
    (global-font-lock-mode t)
    ))

(autoload    'ruby-mode "ruby-mode" "Load ruby-mode")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rb\\'" . ruby-mode))

(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
    (function
        (lambda ()
	    (font-lock-mode 1)
	)
    )
)

(set-variable 'ruby-indent-level 4)
=====

I hope that helps...
