[Developers] MQL for Ruby?

[David Dennis]

I did include and require 'rubygems'

I'm using Rails.

I ran the sample code without installing echoe and got the below error:
http://whatdoesthiserrormean.com/errors/1240

There are commenters on that site who got the same error I did for HTTParty.

Uninstall echoe and run the sample code again to check.
