Ooh!  Add the following lines:

	  # for Apache::ERubyRun
	  RubyRequire apache/eruby-run

It does because you need to load the Apache::ERubyRun class before you 
can have it run over a .rhtml file.  Just add the two lines above to 
your conf and you're good to go.  If you have any questions/problems w/ 
modruby, check out the mailing list modruby@modruby.net.

	PS  This is an uncommented/simlified version of what I'm running 
with

<IfModule mod_ruby.c>
  RubyRequire apache/ruby-run
  RubyRequire apache/eruby-run
  <Files *.rbx>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::RubyRun.instance
  </Files>
  <Files *.rhtml>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
  </Files>
</IfModule>
