Make sure you have the directory in which you installed Ruby in your 
PATH preceding /usr/bin. If you took the defaults during installation, 
that would be /usr/local/bin, so in your .profile file your PATH 
statement would look something like this:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

You can find out which directory OS X is getting Ruby from by typing

which ruby

in Terminal.app.

If you don't understand PATH and .profile, you can read about them by 
starting Terminal.app and typing "man bash". (I'm assuming you're using 
bash as your shell. New releases of OS X use bash by default.)
