Thanks Kevin,

apt-get install irb didn't work, but it got me thinking. apt-get had installed ruby 1.8.4 minus irb. I installed 1.8.5 from scratch and this had irb, but it turns out was missing yaml and zlib, whic I apt-got (correct tense?). Of course this installed them under /usr not /usr/local so I had to copy them. Seems to be working, but I must do some cleanup later or I will confuse the hell out of myself.
