I'm receiving this message from terminal:
$ ruby hello.rb
hello.rb:1:in <main>': undefined local variable or methodworld”' for main:Object (NameError)
I have textmate setup properly with shell scripting support installed. I'm wondering if the clash is with RVM and RBENV. I recall reading somewhere in the RBENV doc that having RVM would disrupt it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It is the basic puts "Hello World" program.
Error message:
