I assume you are not on Windows? In which case, yes, it is broken. I have 
reported it to one of the maintainers, Doug Kearns.

If you convert vim-ruby-install.rb to a unix type file with dos2unix, it seems 
to work. I think the whatever interprets the #! line doesn't understand dos 
type line endings.

Alternatively,
 cp -r compiler  ftplugin  indent  syntax /share/vim/vim63/

works fine (replace /share with your own location)
