[Radiant] Ruby Gems Installation Issue

[1842759193]

Tom,

You can follow the suggestion that Aitor mentioned: installing all the
relevant Ruby (Debian) packages which in my experience does cause some
problems with common Gems, they require 1.8.6 plus, Debian provides 1.8.6.
and as Aitor stated, places them in unusual places.

Alternately, do not install any Ruby packages using
Synaptic/Apt-get/Aptitude, instead download, configure and install the Ruby
latest source package. This works for my Debian systems, desktop and server
everytime. It is not difficult to do, just requires some logic and a bit of
command line confidence.

If you want to go with Ruby source, let me know and I'll give you some
instructions.
