sounds like you are linking (at runtime) against the old mod_ruby libraries
compiled against the old apache - eg. the old libs are still on your system
somewhere and it's these that are being used.  perhaps this is due to apxs
used or somesuch.  if this is the case you need to convice apache to load the
correct mod_ruby somehow.  perhaps using some combination of LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
LD_RUN_PATH, or flags to configure/compile steps building mod_ruby.  in any
case, i'd confirm you are not loading the old version when running httpd.
something like

   LD_DEBUG=all httpd start

may help.

cheers.
