I wouldn't recommending "my" way of doing it but I compile Ruby
into versioned directories (from source), i.e. under 
/Programs/Ruby/1.9.0 for instance. A symlink will point to the version 
to use, to switch versions one just adjusts the symlink (and 
"resymlinks" in case one follows something akin to 
http://www.gobolinux.org/ )

However, I think pretty all Linux distributions do not enjoy this idea 
and instead scatter files into /usr prefix (when it comes from the 
"package manager" of the distribution in question), or /usr/local (if a 
user compiled on his own, though many people use $HOME prefix, and some 
even use /opt which I find extremely peculiar since I saw some 
distributions using pseudo-versioned dirs inside /opt i.e. "/opt/kde3" 
...)
