You have to be running a version of Ruby that contains the fix for the
Windows threading problem. You could either get the latest from CVS and
build it -- or you can take advantage of Rich's generosity and download the
build he has made available to us. I attached Rich's original post on this
subject below.

FreeRIDE'ers

To save others the time, I just uploaded a build of FreeRUBY :-)
(FreeRIDE friendly Ruby) which is the latest Ruby (1.7.3) w/latest
FXRuby and many extensions built (XMLParser, REXML, WEBrick, SWin/VRuby,
Jabber4R, Log4R, opengl, glut, Berkeley DB, win32ole, zlib)

Not a full as Andy's...but until his is ready, this will work to run
FreeRIDE.

Just unzip it somewhere and then change the run.bat in FreeRIDE to point
to the FreeRUBY ruby.exe file.
