This could be one of two things:

If you're seeing (verbatum) <% puts "blah" %>, then you need something
like the following in your htpd.conf:

  <Files *.rhtml>
    SetHandler ruby-object
    RubyHandler Apache::ERubyRun.instance
  </Files>


If you're seeing just "blah", then for some reason ERuby isn't setting
the mime-type correctly which is _very_ strange because I've never had
that happen before.  If worse comes to worse, you can change the
default mime type to text/html (don't recommend that), or you can
create an apache request instance and change the ontent type that way
(also don't recommend, but it's better than changing the default,
IMHO).

<% r = Apache.request
r.content_type = 'text/html' %>

I hope it's the 1st of the two probs though (the latter strikes me as
an exotic bug in MIME land).  -sc
