 This is bad, try to avoid it.

 If you want to make a private version of ruby, compile it with

  ./configure --prefix=/directory/where/you/want/install/it

 Then be sure that this private version of ruby is find by the shell when
 you call ruby (PATH)

 Don't try to mix different versions of ruby
