install RubyGems :) http://rubygems.rubforge.org

But seriously, it's probably due to the RUBYOPT environment variable
being set. Since unsetting it broke your scripts, there may be
something else set in it as well. If so, try removing just the
"rubygems" part of the variable's content.

But still, installing RubyGems will solve the problem, and give you
access to some very nifty software and libraries to boot.
