Quoting Chamila W. (lists@ruby-forum.com):

I mean that the interpreter in /usr/bin (the one installed by
debian/ubuntu) is not used if there is one in /usr/local/bin
(installed by you). This is because, at least in default settings,
/usr/local/bin appears before /usr/bin in PATH. 

If you want to be sure that you are not using the old interpreter,
after you have done make install, remove the ubuntu package, as I
already mentioned in a previous msg.

In all cases, you may know what you are running by typing

ruby -v

Another command you may use is

which ruby

which prints out the path of the first executable with the name 'ruby'
found in your PATH. If you type

ls -l `which ruby`

you can see if the executable you run is recent or not.
