Subject: installing rubygems under Linux

I've recently started using Ruby under Linux as opposed to Windows. I
have Ruby 1.8.2 installed. I'm trying to install rubygems.

When I run "ruby setup.rb" I get "no such file to load -- rbconfig".

I think this is a LOAD_PATH problem. I didn't have a LOAD_PATH
environment variable defined (never needed it under Windows), so I
tried that.

LOAD_PATH=.:$RUBY_HOME:$RUBY_HOME/lib

Running "ruby setup.rb" gave the same result, so I tried "ruby -I
$LOAD_PATH setup.rb" and got "No such file to load -- syck".

Do I need to specify LOAD_PATH?  What else could I be doing wrong?
