Did you remember to do that in an active shell (with the command "unset 
RUBYOPT") or did you do it in your .profile (or .bash_profile or .bashrc) 
and expect it to take effect immediately? If you edit your .profile, it 
doesn't take effect immediately -- you need to log out and log back in. 
If you edit your .bashrc, you need to open a new shell (and .bashrc is 
the wrong place for environment variables anyway).
