I guess you're using Windows. For it to work at all om Linux, I had to 
make a symlink
ln -s ruby /usr/bin/rubyw.exe
and then say that my interpreter was called ruby and lived in /usr.

Then I got some output.

But I must say (agreeing with James) that on first look eclipse is quite 
confusing. I don't like IDE's very much as a rule, the only one I use is 
JBuilder, and then only for the wonderful completion feature: you type 
System. and it pops up a list with all legal values.
If such a feature is planned for RubyEclipse, I can swallow some of the 
pain. (Not being able to use nedit for instance is very painful when 
using the awful JBuilder editor).
I think an extra problem for RubyEclipse is that every menu and button 
in it is loaded with Java stuff.

For the time being, it's back to nedit for me.
