You hit a feature of bash here; it's has remembered where
ruby used to be. The clue is in that bash has reported
the full path (/usr/bin/ruby) as not being found.
The fix is to type 'hash -r'
Regardez:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # hash
hits command
1 /usr/bin/tty
3 /bin/mv
1 /usr/bin/yum
2 /usr/bin/ruby
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # mv /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # ruby
bash: /usr/bin/ruby: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # hash -r
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # hash
hash: hash table empty
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] # ruby
bash: ruby: command not found
So it could be a false alarm.

Neither; you may need to do nothing,
or change the #! line at the start of
your script, or if ruby uses the #!/bin/env trick,
possibly nothing to do.

Are you kidding?! What could be more fun than this?
