Running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) which came with vim 7.3.035. It did not have ruby installed so I downloaded the Natty release number and set the --enable-rubyinterp flag and recompiled. I could never get the +ruby to show in the vim - -version CLI. I tried several ways of doing this, making sure to make uninstall and make clean prior to make install. Unsuccessful, I downloaded the latest vim from Mercurial (7.3.277) which I was able to get the +ruby flag after install - BUT this version of vim would not work on my Natty 11.04. It would not even display a text file in the window. I tried logging out of Natty's Unity desktop and back into the Gnome Desktop and the problem remained. I never enabled the flag for vim to use gnome2 as there is a notation in the Makefile that "this could cause problems." But it appears that ruby needs gnome2(?). I have both gtk2 and gnome2 installed. I have installed ruby 1.9.2 , 1.9.1 and 1.9.1-dev and set them each to "default" (showing up with "ruby -v" ) and the problem persists. Some very nice vim scripts do not run without ruby installed. I posted this condition to the unbuntuforums website here
