The options I listed are about as basic as it gets, I'm afraid.  My
recommendation is that you take the first option.  Open your shell on
the server and enter the following:

PATH=/path/to/ruby/source:$PATH

Where /path/to/ruby/source is the full path to the location where you
extracted the Ruby sources in order to build your version of Ruby.

I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here.  The most current file
in a directory I don't know about (since you didn't say) doesn't appear
relevant to you running ruby to process your calc.rb script.
