Your ruby is hosed, or you aren't actually running under the version
you compiled.  I had a problem before where even though 'which ruby'
showed /usr/local/bin/ruby, when I executed ruby it was still using
the version in /usr/bin.

What options did you give ./configure when you built ruby?  Did you
build readline first?

Here is the output from my machine:

legolas:~/Download/src/jruby jason$ uname -mpsrv
Darwin 8.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.1.0: Tue May 10 18:16:08 PDT 2005; root:xnu
-792.1.5.obj~4/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc

legolas:~/Download/src/jruby jason$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.1.0]

legolas:~/Download/src/jruby jason$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby

legolas:~/Download/src/jruby jason$ /usr/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]


Notice my 'ruby -v' shows [powerpc-darwin8.1.0] whereas on your
machine shows  [powerpc-darwin8.0.0].

Better try building ruby again.  Also make sure after you build ruby
that you rebuild rubygems.  I first had to close the active terminal
window and open a new one for this to build correctly.


Hope that helps,

Jason
