Are there any good SciTE alternatives that are mainly for Ruby editing
and compiling? I don't mean FreeRIDE, as I can't stand that program
(so many warnings and errors when you run it, it's unbelievable).
Can you guys give me any alternatives? (a link to a list or a direct
link is fine)

This may be the same problem fxri has. fxri does work though, so if you
say errors with freeride it may be something diferent.

I'm using jEdit as editor when I need to look at large classes. Normally
I'm using SciTE.
jedit is available at http://www.jedit.org/
You may want to read these instructions for how to install the ruby
plugin http://rubyjedit.org/download/
And btw, ruby programs are not compiled.

The free version of Komodo Edit may be of interest:
It's derived from Mozilla code I believe.
I'm not a GUI fan, and I still use my Unix editor (joe), but this is almost
good enough to make me change. It's fast to load, and easy to navigate.
There is also a version with IDE, which is expensive but has a free trial.
(But with Ruby, I'm happy using an editor to edit, and a shell to run)
Regards,
Brian.

Am I missing something?
I have used FreeRide many times with no errors (unless my code has bugs).
Is there a problem with new versions?

Netbeans if providing a very nice IDE for Ruby development. Take a look
at this thread:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/101616#new
There you can find a comparison between this IDE and Eclipse's.

On the Windows platform there is the Zeus IDE:
Zeus has standard IDE features like syntax highlighting,
integrated version control, project/workspace, class
browsing etc, but it will also do smart indenting and
code folding for the Ruby language
And provided you have Ruby WSH installed you can even
write Zeus macros using Ruby

Is it a live project? I looked at both Mondrian and FreeRide a while back. They looked similar, but FreeRide looked more active, and it was in Gentoo's Portage tree.

I have the paid-up version of Komodo and I just love it! If you're doing multi-language development (Perl, Python, PHP, Tcl, Ruby are the main ones) it's very well integrated. If you're doing either Perl or Tcl development on Windows, it's probably the best thing out there. There are some good alternatives on open source platforms, but on Windows, Komodo is worth what they charge for it.
BTW, I have the Linux version.

This was a probem with FXRuby when the first version of Ruby 1.8.5 was
released (tons of warnings, but it still worked) This was fix with newer
versions of FXRuby and/or the newer release of 1.8.5-p12. It shouldn't be a
problem any longer.

I'm using jEdit as editor when I need to look at large classes. Normally

I'm curious: Why normally SciTE, not jEdit?

Activestate just changed their licensing so I can't speak to the free
editor or expensive ide but I bought the $29 dollar ide and editor
from their last licensing model and I wouldn't use anything else.
Works on 3 platforms and has an 'intellisense' syntax analyzer that
has saved me quite a lot of time (especially in javascript but also in
ruby). It does have bugs and hopefully they have been fixed to justify
the new expensive ide. It also has a ruby shell but I found it lame
compared to SciTE's and irb.

What platform? You may be able to get SciTE working properly again, and
not have to worry about a new editor.

I for one don't like jEdit.
Too heavy.
How about emacs with some use-me-without-freaky-shortcuts mode?

The licensing change was essentially to make the "$29 dollar IDE" (Personal Edition) free as in beer. I have the "expensive IDE" on Linux and the free editor on Windows. I'm really spoiled by the IDE -- I think it's worth the money for the hooks to CVS and Subversion and all the other goodies.
I'll have to agree with you on "irb" though. The full IDE has a hack to bring up the standard Ruby executable in an interactive mode, but if you're used to irb, you have to learn a new interface. I think the ActiveState folks are looking at connecting to irb, but even if they aren't, you can add a cmd prompt (Windows) or an xterm/konsole/whatever window running irb as a tool in the toolbox, which is what I've done.

Can you show example code - I never had problems with SciTE.

Yes, I think so. But maybe they have a licence statement on their website.

Because it is faster than jEdit. And available on Linux as well (finally
I got jEdit installed on Ubuntu, but I do not remember how).
And normally my class files are short - so I do not need the structure
browser.

I look at the page every now and then, and there usually seems to be
progress. Seems like a nice, lightweight and polished IDE, though not
something I'd use due to its lack of a vim part
