Well, here's an excerpt from my install script.

     BASEDIR=$(cd $(dirname $0)/../.. && /bin/pwd)
     INSTALL_DIR=$BASEDIR/install
     RUBY_LIB=$BASEDIR/install/lib/ruby

     cd $(dirname $0)
     mkdir -p $RUBY_LIB

     config_args="
 	--prefix=$INSTALL_DIR
 	--std-ruby=/usr/local/ruby/1.8
 	--site-ruby-common=$RUBY_LIB
 	--site-ruby=$RUBY_LIB
 	--so-dir=$RUBY_LIB
     "

     if [ ! -f $RUBY_LIB/mysql.so ]; then
 	(cd mysql-ruby
 	    && ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-config $config_args
 	    && make
 	    && ruby -run -e install -- -vpm 0755 mysql.so $RUBY_LIB/
 	    && make realclean && rm mysql.c
 	)
     fi

     # [many packages deleted here]

     if [ ! -f $RUBY_LIB/activerecord.rb ]; then
 	(cd activerecord && ruby install.rb $RUBY_LIB)
     fi

Every package seems to install slightly differently, which is annoying.
But the basic idea is that I have the correct versions of most of the
stuff I need in CVS. To deploy, I do a checkout, build all of the
stuff (C libraries, apache, php, php libs, ruby libs, etc. etc.) into
a special install dir, and run using that. Thus, I don't care what
particular ruby libraries happen to be installed on a machine: I know
that I'm using the correct ones that I tested my software with in
development.
