Well, if you're *really* desperate, you can try to fix up multi_json
yourself to work with older Rubies.

Start with `gem fetch multi_json`, this will download a .gem file that
is actually a TAR archive. Untar it, there are two .gz archives inside
– one for the metadata (you can change the required version number
there), one ofr the data (the actual code, gemspec (where you also
need to change the version) and stuff).

Once you're done, tar it again and run `gem install multi_json
--local` in the directory where the modified .gem file is.

But really, you should upgrade. 1.8.5 is old as balls and if
multi_json requires newer version, it might actually use some features
unavailable on 1.8.5.
