Title Body

I can't get the Ruby interpreter to run on either of my Macs (one MacBook and one MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard). When I run it, by typing ruby in Terminal, nothing happens. It just sits there. I can kill it by pressing Ctrl+C , but that's it. I know the Ruby process is running, since I can see it in Activity Monitor, and running ruby --version works fine. I have tried the following, all to no avail: I have some bash customizations, so I tried disabling them, but that didn't help. I installed a new copy of Ruby 1.8.7 using MacPorts, but that one had the same problem. I tried quitting and restarting the Terminal application. Some other information that might be useful: I'm trying to run the version of Ruby that comes with Snow Leopard. I have installed Apple's developer tools. Other interpreters (Python, Io, etc.) work fine. I spent a while tonight searching for this problem online, but haven't found any discussion of it. I'm at a loss for what could be causing it, so any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.
