Hello,
I’ve been searching for an (X)Emacs Ruby mode, but I haven’t found any.
I’ve only found references that it exists, and I’ve found RPMs (not useful
if you are on a Sun machine or are not root).
Does anyone know where I can get the Emacs Ruby mode?
Thanks,

'Tis on your machine already 
Look in the ‘misc’ subdirectory of
the Ruby distribution.

I just use the one that came with ruby. Don’t need to be root, or have it in an
RPM either. Figure a place to put it and add that to your auto-mode-alist (or
the XEmacs equivalent).

Alright, I see them. Sorry to bug you again, but I can’t figure out how
to add it to XEmacs. I’ve been looking all over the web, I’ve been trying
to figure out XEmacs, but I’ve failed.
Do you know how I can add the ruby mode to XEmacs?
Thanks,

Sure, just stick it somewhere in your load path.
I recommend making a directory to put other .el files, and adding that
directory to your load-path:
mkdir ~/elisp
then, inside ~/.xemacs/init.el:
(add-to-list
'load-path
(expand-file-name “~/elisp”))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(“\.rb$” . ruby-mode))
Then, just put ruby-mode.el into your ~/elisp directory, and restart
XEmacs. Depending on your distribution, you may already have
ruby-mode loaded/installed…

Could some emacs person put up the howto at
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?EditorExtensions - I’d rather not do it
myself for fear of messing up some detail. An inf-ruby.el howto would
probably be a good idea too.

Sigh. I like Emacs, but I always struggle configuring it.
Thanks for helping. I do appreciate it. Perhaps you can tell me what I’m
doing wrong:
I made ~/elisp and put ruby-mode.el in it (as well as the other *.el files
from the Ruby distribution).
I didn’t have a ~/.xemacs/init.el file, so I created ~/.xemacs and
~/.xemacs/init.el and put what you wrote on it. It didn’t work.
I also added it to ~/.emacs (XEmacs seems to read configuration from
there), but it didn’t work either.
By “it didn’t work” I mean that when I open a ‘.rb’ file I see no
indication that the Ruby mode is loaded. For instance, I can’t get it to
do syntax highlighting.
Can you think of anything else that I might be doing wrong?
Thanks again.

In your ~/.emacs you need to make the association between the .rb
extension and ruby-mode. Try putting this in your .emacs and then
start up a .rb file (this comes from some instructions in
inf-ruby.el):
(autoload 'ruby-mode “ruby-mode”
“Mode for editing ruby source files” t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append '((“\.rb$” . ruby-mode)) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist (append '((“ruby” . ruby-mode))
interpreter-mode-alist))
and that should hook into loading ruby-mode.el.

Wooohoo!!!
YYYiiiipppeee!!!
Yabadabadoo!!
Thanks David, that worked.
I didn’t read inf-ruby.el because I didn’t think it would have anything
human-readable (I know so little Lisp that it might as well be Greek to
me).

Holy hell. I think you just reminded me /why/ i prefer vim over emacs.

Hang on sunshine, before a flame-war becomes us, I’ll point out that
auto-identifying what filetype Vim should use, and loading the appropriate
syntax, etc., files, only became easy with version 6.0 (i.e. a year or so ago).
Mind you, it is now exemplary.
If you invented a new language and wanted Vim to recognise it, you’d have to
jump through a few hoops. It’s not hard, but then everyone else who wanted to
use it would have to do the same.

Just a short announcment. RAAInstall has been updated to work with the
new wonderful RAA. The new naming convention for package names has
streamlined things wonderfully.
Relating to previous comments, raa-install no longer pulls directly
from the RAA. Instead it runs off a compacted XML file hosted on the
raa site on sourceforge, updated periodically from the RAA. This
improves the download from 500k down to a little over 20k.
Many packages still don’t work, but many do. Basically, requirements
for packages to be installed are:
* They are packaged as tar.gz
* They use one of install.rb/extconf.rb/configure for installation
RAAInstall can be downloaded from:
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/narf-lib/raa-install-0.0.5.tgz
Or installed using itself by doing
raa-install -i raainstall
Enjoy,
-Tom
