Install ruby using rvm:

http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/

And have your own version of Ruby that lives in your user folder, and
problem solved.

Saying this because since you don't have access to rbconfig system-
wide, there will be no chance to perform "sudo gem install" which then
could lead to problems.
