Hello!I have just started programming in Ruby as part of my University cour=
se.Now I am having trouble with installing ruby and freeride. I downloaded =
Ruby1.8.5 One click installer from www.ruby-lang.org but when I try to open=
 FreeRide that was included in the package all I get is a console window wi=
thloads and loads of text. Most of the text says Failing to load: etc.Any h=
elp would be greatly appreciated.dipen=20
