you can append /usr/local to the end of your PATH instead. if /usr/bin
is before /usr/local/bin in your PATH ENV then /usr/bin/whatever will
be found/used first.

I'd consider cleaning up your source_cache as well, and removing ~/.ruby_inline.
Also there is an issue with the compiler flags set using RubyInline
that you will want to fix.

I wrote a sed script to do it. Very helpful if you need to fix it on
multiple machines.

sudo sed -i -e "387,1s/flags\ =\ @flags.join(\'\ \')/&\ \+\ \'\
-lruby\'/" /usr/lib/ruby/user-gems/1.8/gems/RubyInline-3.6.4/lib/inline.rb
