Basically you need to have the el file distributed with ruby in emacs
resource dir:

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ruby-mode.el


And relevant info to use the ruby-mode for ruby files, in your .emacs, or
in /etc/emacs/site-start.d

For example, the one we provide with Linux-Mandrake in site-start.d
contains:

(autoload 'ruby-mode "ruby-mode" "Ruby editing mode." t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\.rb$" . ruby-mode))
(add-to-list 'interpreter-mode-alist '("ruby" . ruby-mode))


Of course, if you install Linux-Mandrake, just install packages Emacs and
Ruby and it will work out of the box :-).



As a side note, here's what we (mandrake ruby fans) have in our .emacs in
order to evaluate current buffer whenever we do C-enter:

(defmacro ilam (&rest body) `(lambda () (interactive) ,@body))

  (add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 
	    '(lambda () (local-set-key [(meta return)] 
				       (ilam (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max) "ruby")))))
