I think that maybe you had the old one-click-installer installed, which 
set up the RUBYOPT environment variable to "rubygems" (aka "-r ubygems")
If you don't have rubygems installed in the site_ruby directory for the 
new packages, whenever you launch a ruby program it will try to load the 
ubygems.rb file and fail to find it.
You can try reinstalling rubygems or removing the rubyopt env variable.
