Now I know I’ve heard the term Ruby before, it’s frequently used by marketing departments at "Web 2.0" start-ups, to prove that they are the bleeding edge of tech. Here is what Wikipedia has to say on what exactly Ruby is:

Ruby is a reflective, object-oriented programming language. It combines syntax inspired by Perl with Smalltalk-like object-oriented features, and also shares some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan and CLU. Ruby is a single-pass interpreted language. Its main implementation is free software distributed under an open-source license.

    hello ,

    You must compile it yourself :(

    I didn’t succeed in compile it. I thinks it’s impossible with file provided !
    What’s a pity ! They’d better to do as Nokia provide a sisx file !!!!

  2. Well have you tried asking the guys hosting the source for some assistance? Linux hackers are usually the nicest people if you just ask them for some advice.
