You will need to set up your shells path to use it btw. if you type

which ruby

it will most likely show /usr/bin/ruby and not /usr/local/bin/ruby

Seriously you should (for the sake of just knowing) try installing it
by hand some time.

Simply download the ruby you want from:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/

in this case: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org//pub/ruby/1.9/

untar the file with : tar -xzvf <ruby-file>

open the directory and read README

it has the instructions right there with the source.
