Subject: db2_connect on ruby 1.8.5 rubygems 1.3.5

Hi,

I have a red hat server with Ruby 1.8.5 and RubyGems 1.3.5 and are trying to get ruby connected to a IBM DB2 database. My intention was to use ibm_db from ruby gems, but that didn't work

$ gem install ibm_db
ERROR:  Error installing ibm_db:
	multi_json requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.6

From what I can see the latest version of RubyGems for Ruby 1.8.5 is 1.3.5. So is the only way for getting ruby connected to db2 to upgrade to a newer version of Ruby? Or is there a different tool I can use for connection to at IBM DB2 database using Ruby 1.8.5?
