You can start your ruby script normally from a shell console :). If you
have X installed, in will behave in the X environment pretty much as it
would on any UN*X machine.

Now, to have access to the MacOS GUI (via aquaTk for example), you might
want to give a look at:

On the other hand, I have not been able to get everything the way I
would like on my mac and I use ruby mainly on the command line.

Cheers,
Guillaume.
