May I recommend that you learn to run it from the command line. It's not 
at all hard.

I've done several IDE's, and aside from the need to learn them, and 
their bugs, they have the additional disadvantage of keeping you from 
seeing what you're really doing.

I'm an absolute amateur with Ruby, and always will be, I now run from 
the command line, and use the ruby-debug gem (not yet available in ruby 
1.9), and am completely pleased with what I can do. I would never go 
back to an IDE. I simply don't see any advantage at all.
