To my way of thinking, it is far easier to use Macports than to install
from source. Simply:

1. Download MacPorts
2. Type "sudo port install ruby"

Thats it. Want to update your installation to a newly released version?

sudo port upgrade ruby

Again, easy. Oh, and if you somehow mess something up, you can just
trash your ~/opt/local folder and your system is not affected. Just my 2
cents.
