Subject: What am I doing wrong? -Chat server code-

I am running ruby 1.8.6 on WinXP.

I get the following error when I try to run this code:

httpserv.rb:22:in `runme': undefined local variable or method 
`connection_accept' for #<ServerBrutus:0x282af80> (NameError)

Here's the code (taken from a tutorial site by IBM):

--==--

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'socket'

class ServerBrutus

  def initialize(servAddr, servPort)
    @servPort = servPort
    @servAddr = servAddr
    @socketThreads = Array::new
    @cx = TCPServer.new("", servPort)
    printf("Server started on port: %d\n", servPort)
    @socketThreads.push(@cx)
  end # initialize

  def runme
    while 1
      conChk = select(@socketThreads, nil, nil, nil)
      if conChk != nil then
        for socket in conChk[0]
          if socket == @cx then
            connection_accept
          else
            if socket.eof? then
              str = sprintf("Client left 
%s%s\n",socket.peeraddr[2],socket.peeraddr[1])
              broadcast_string(str, socket)
              socket.close
              @socketThreads.delete(socket)
            else
              str = sprintf("[%s|%s]: 
%s",socket.peeraddr[2],socket.peeraddr[1],socket.gets())
              broadcast_string(str, socket)
          end # if cx
        end # for sock
      end # if conChk
    end # while infinite
  end # runme

  def broadcast_string(str, omit_sock)
    @socketThreads.each do |clientSocket|
      if clientSocket != @cx && clientSocket != omit_sock
        clientSocket.write(str)
      end
    end
  end # broadcast_string

  def connection_accept
    newSocket = @cx.accept
    @socketThreads.push(newSocket)
    newSocket.write("You're connected to the server!\n")
    str = sprintf("Client joined 
%s%s\n",newSocket.peeraddr[2],newSocket.peeraddr[1])
    broadcast_string(str, newSocket)
  end # connection_accept

end # class ServerBrutus

  servAddr = 'localhost'
  servPort = 180
  myChatServer = ServerBrutus.new(servAddr, servPort)
  myChatServer.runme
end

--==--

What am I doing wrong? I'm using FreeRIDE, but it poops the same error 
on the command prompt. If I do not include the last 'end', it generates 
a syntax error on the last line ('myChatServer.runme').

Any help please? Thanks ahead of time! :)
