Hello,
In all the time I've used Ruby, I've never come across such an aggravating,
uninformative error message... argh!
parse error, unexpected $, expecting kEND
wtf?
Regards,
Kurt
% ruby --version
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [sparc-linux]
This means, unexpected end of line, (or possibly end of file) I was expecting to see the keyword "end"

notice that before bison 2.0 you did not had neither this messages 
I reported the strange messages around ruby-talk:179793 and matz said he did not know of a way to get better error messages.
In ruby-talk:182173 I reported that there is a siple solution, at least for some things, but I don't know if someone in ruby-core/dev ever read or considered that, I guess providing a patch to parse.y would be helpful

Hi,
With the help of your mail about how to add descriptive names to tokens I wrote a patch and sent it to ruby-core
http://ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/7653
