instead of using setup.rb i would just do the following since u have 
Ubuntu.

sudo bash
#enter pw
apt-cache search ruby
#should come up with something similar to ruby-1.8.2 or something of 
that nature
apt-get install ruby-1.8.2
#this will install it. For any gems in the future simply type:
gem install <gem name here>
