Thank you. That seems to be what caused my problem. I deleted the .irbrc 
(it was a link on my system), and irb works correctly. The date stamp on 
the files seems to be when I installed some vi/vim enhancement, (I do 
not recall the package name). Have you installed any vi or vim packages 
recently?
