Subject: ruby 1.8.8dev stable snapshot?

Hello ~

Went to do a routine ruby install from source, grabbed a stable
snapshot, and instead of getting an expected 1.8.7 I got:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.8dev (2009-03-11)

Should this really be the STABLE snapshot? It throws up trying to
RubyGems installed:
$ sudo ruby setup.rb
Password:
/home/deploy/src/rubygems-1.3.1/lib/rubygems/version.rb:53:in
`initialize': Malformed version number string 1.8.8.-1 (ArgumentError)
	from /home/deploy/src/rubygems-1.3.1/lib/rubygems.rb:676:in `new'
	from /home/deploy/src/rubygems-1.3.1/lib/rubygems.rb:676:in
`ruby_version'
	from setup.rb:111
