The Ruby scripts are in the plug in folders.....named correctly , show different sizes.... some come zipped , some not...
but in looking at my buttons ... I can not find any that indicate my Ruby downloads have reached Sketchup...
and they do not show in the Ruby console... in Sketchup 8
Thanks,Greg
This is one of the great problems with using a graphical user interface (GUI). You click on a button and something is meant to happen... errors are meant to be written somewhere... on a command line you type in a command and you should get a load of messages if it doesn't work...

Try starting Sketchup from the command line? You might get some information that helps...

I can't say for sure what is happening but it sounds like Sketchup can't find the ruby environment (for want of a better word!). It could be a simple PATH issue...
