please see if 0.8.11 works for you.

Sorry.  No go:

hmm, I don't see what's going on here.

[Comment 4 Tim Haynes 2005-12-08 10:18:59 UTC]

How many versions of ruby does the reporter have installed? Try checking
epm -qaG| grep ruby
and if you've got both 1.6.8 and 1.8.x installed, lose the 1.6.8 stuff.

(I had this, and other similar problems, installing rubygems; transpires I was living in 1.6.8-land.)

[Comment 5 Michael Labhard 2005-12-08 17:05:02 UTC]

Yes, that worked.  Thank you.  Removing the old version of ruby did the trick. 
Now if we could just get the ebuild to take care of this matter ...

[Comment 6 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-01-02 14:37:44 UTC]

updated the 0.8.11 ebuild to only install against ruby 1.8
