This error message:
it 'should' do
proc { eval("a=")}.should raise_exception(/SyntaxError/)

shouldn't that be
raise_exception(SyntaxError)
that is, the exception class, not a Regexp literal to match its name.
It supports any of:
raise_error(ErrorClass)
raise_error(ErrorClass, string)
raise_error(ErrorClass, /regex/)
raise_error(string)
raise_error(/regex/)
(or raise_exception with the same set of alternatives)

RSpec 1.3 (from apidock)
raise_exception(exception=Exception, message=nil, &block) public
With no args, matches if any exception is raised. With a named
exception, matches only if that specific exception is raised. With a
named exception and messsage specified as a String, matches only if
bothmatch. With a named exception and messsage specified as a Regexp,
matches only if both match. Passan optional block to perform extra
verifications on the exception matched
Rspec 2 (from
http://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/docs/built-in-matchers/raise-error-matcher)
only shows forms with either nothing specified, or the first argument
is always the Exception class.
If you use one of:
raise_error(string)
raise_error(/regex/)
against what is the string or /regex/ matched? The message associated
to the Exception or the NAME of the exception.
expected Exception with message matching /SyntaxError/, got
#<SyntaxError: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected end-of-file>
Is a bit confusing, since it appears from the error output that it
*does* match /SyntaxError/
The MESSAGE does not match /SyntaxError/ but it would have matched /
syntax error/.
I think that's where the OP is confused.

Might be able to word it better or along those lines.
Thanks!
