Ok, here is what I did and what I found:

I erased ruby from /usr/local and re-installed it with Fink. Then I tried
irb and it worked fine. That probably was not what you wanted to hear, Jim.

I did pick up a potential clue, though. Fink told me that there were
unsatisfied dependencies and took it's suggestion for how to resolve them.
It installed not only readline but readline.shlibs. Maybe it missed that on
your install somehow.

Sorry I can't provide more help. I hate it when I get "It works for me" type
posts but I think you might be best served just to sudo rm -rf your /sw
hierarchy and either install ruby in /usr/local/... from the tarball or
re-install Fink.
