Maybe you should write a super simple ruby program and test with that.
 Your program might have no output or something.  Try

test.rb
--
#!/usr/bin/ruby

puts "Station!"
--
and do ruby test.rb

if it does nothing after that, then you know it must have something to
do with your commandline.

Also, if you feel like cheating you could either put getc() at the end
of every program (it will wait till you type something to go away.)
or make a wrapper that will do something like:

`ruby #{file}`
getc()

That way your sourcecode is not stuck in Borland C++ mode.

Also, the above code does not work.  But there is surely a way to do it.
