Hi,

There's a few ways you can do this, the easiest probably being setting 
the Build Command[1] to use the full path of the Ruby interpreter. 
Alternatively you could use the shebang in your ruby script to point to 
the correct interpreter. Lastly you could put the path of the Ruby 
interpreter into your $PATH environment variable.

If you chose the first option (best IMO), you'd set the Execute command 
to something like this:

     /home/lux/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby "%f"

The second option, you'd change the first line of you Ruby script to 
something like this:

     #!/home/lux/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby

And the third option, you'd adjust your PATH environment variable 
something like this, before running Geany:

     PATH="$PATH:/home/lux/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin" geany
