Hi Paul,

Are there any (more informative) messages on the system console
(/Applications/Utilities/Console.app)?

Are there any spaces in the name of your external drive?

Did you delete ruby altogether from your system (i.e. if you open a terminal
and type "which ruby", what do you see?)

Best,

-r
