I found that it was a lot of hassle trying to get Ruby1.9 setup on Ubuntu,
particularly if you wanted to switch between 1.8 and 1.9.

Then I found rvm http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/ which has made the whole
process very easy to manage. I removed all my ruby packages except for 1.8
and gems then followed the installation instructions for rvm using the gem
method.

Hope it helps you!
