There is definitely something odd about your setup.  The ruby version
generated by the profile error should be the same as the ruby
--version.

Try using the full path to your ruby executable. I'm not in front of a
mac right now, but I do believe that Fink puts everything into /sw

/sw/usr/bin/ruby     <-- should be the Fink version

Give that a shot
