Before anything else, if you installed gems, you should disinstall
them. Do

gem list

and for each, do

gem uninstall [gem-name]

Then: did you try 

make clean
make distclean
make clean-platform

?

(I never needed to do a disinstall, so I cannot be certain). Anyway,
It should be sufficient to remove directory /usr/local/lib/ruby, and
these executables from /usr/local/bin:

ruby
testrb
ri
rake
rdoc
irb
gem
erb
