Bad interpreter

Guy (Decoux) already asked you, but it seems you didn’t read
that, so I’ll insist: what do you have in /usr/bin/ruby? With that size
it must be a script; check it as it is probably broken… Where is your
real ruby binary?

Maybe ruby is not in /usr/local/bin. Or it is not in your
PATH environment var, so #!/usr/bin/env ruby failed

Thinks to check:
$ whereis ruby - will give you full path to ruby

Other two questions:

What are the permitions on test.tb? 755 (do you have +x for the current user)
What are the permitions of current partition? - see if you have in /etc/fstab
something like: … ,noexec for the partition with test.rb

I think it is all right. I can not understand why i have this problem
…

What happens when you call /usr/local/bin/ruby straight from the command
line?

:.! /usr/local/bin/ruby Ruby/test3.rb

I, now, understand your answer.
I have find all the possibility for the pattern ruby, but nothing is
interesting:
gull:/usr/bin# find / -name ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/share/doc/ruby
/usr/doc/ruby
/usr/lib/ruby
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby ->> the link to /usr/bin/ruby
/home/masarn1/Documentazione/Ruby/num17/ruby
/home/masarn1/Postgres/Archivio_soci/prova/ruby
gull:/usr/bin#

It is interesting that my ruby have a dimension, and yours another one:
it is a bug of my deb ruby file? I have reinstalled it yet.

Aaaaawww!

batsman@kodos:~/src/ruby-1.6.6/debian$ ls -l /usr/bin/ruby
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3136 jun 12 2002 /usr/bin/ruby

I’ve been looking at the package’s sources but cannot see where this
tiny exec. comes from…

This gets more and more mysterious.
Especially since we’re all using Debian apparently.

I have seen this before from bash. I have just dowloaded the
bash-2.05b sources and in execute_cmd.c there is the chunk below.
I don’t know enough to figure out why execve() should fail, but…

fd = open(file, O_RDONLY);

execve (command, args, env);

SETOSTYPE (1);

/* If we get to this point, then start checking out the file.
Maybe it is something we can hack ourselves. /
if (i != ENOEXEC)
{
if ((stat (command, &finfo) == 0) && (S_ISDIR (finfo.st_mode)))

errno = i;
file_error (command);

run it for some reason. See why. */

Somebody already suggested this, but I didn’t see a reaction:
what does ‘od -c test.rb’ show ?

It must be a line terminating issue.

Must be this!!!

man mount
[…]

          user   Allow an ordinary user to mount  the  file  system. The
                 name  of  the mounting user is written to mtab so that he
                 can unmount the file system again.  This  option implies
                 the  options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden
                 by  subsequent   options,   as   in   the   option line
                 user,exec,dev,suid).

[…]

change the second line to
/dev/hda9 /home/ reiserfs user,exec 0 0

or better yet to
/dev/hda9 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0

As you normally won’t need to (un)mount your home partition manually w/
a normal user.
