The problem is the preview release tarball unpacks into a directory named
"ruby-1.8.2" while the stable snapshot tarball unpacks into a directory
named "ruby". So in addition to changing the URL parameter of where to get
Ruby, you also need to change the following parameter that specifies the
unpack directory.
