I can't seem to find the bugs you reported about this in Launchpad. Have
they been fixed in Dapper already?


The "bugs" in this case is the absence of "RubyGems" -- which is in
Launchpad. Basically what's in the repos is out-of-date so using Ruby
from distro and downloading Gems just left everything a mess. Once you
got Gems working at all, using the stuff you downloaded from it had a
50/50 chance of blowing up.

It's just easier to build from source. The repos just don't (and, to be
fair, can't) keep up with the stuff that's going on in Ruby.
