hi Bruce,

  this sounds like it's most likely a problem of NetBeans not finding 
the file.  you probably don't really need a big IDE to get started with 
ruby...

  you could just open up a terminal, and type `ruby 
/[path]/[to]/main.rb` (obviously entering the correct path to the 
file... if that works, then your problem is with NetBeans.)

  any old text editor will do for writing ruby code, though something 
with syntax highlighting is definitely a good idea.  i use SciTe, which 
has a nifty F5 function which will run your script, and an output panel.

  good luck, and have fun!
