Actually, you'll need something called ruby-src from Ubuntu compatible

The easiest way to get the sources is probably downloading them from
ruby-lang.org, extracting them, and let RDoc loose on the source code,
with the -o option. (No messing around with apt-get's repository
configuration, for example, and you know where you extracted the
sources, too. :P)
