There was at least an error because exit code != 0. The meaning of exit codes is usually to be found in the documentation of the program. Did you see any messages on the console? If not and if you have permissions you could try to invoke the ruby interpreter with "strace" (redirect stderr to a file) and maybe find something near the end of the output of strace.
