1.) Download a copy of RubyGems' .tgz release from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126&release_id=46225
2.) Extract someplace convenient.
3.) run "ruby setup.rb" in the directory you extracted RubyGems to.
This step likely needs root permissions.
4.) Verify RubyGems is installed with "gem -v" (or so).

P.S.: IIRC, 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 are EOL, with only 1.8.7 receiving
(security) patches for a few more years, so you should upgrade to
1.8.7 at least, and 1.9.2 (which includes RubyGems!) if possible.

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.
