I think RubyCocoa works for the Ruby 1.6.7 installed with Mac OS X and 
with the binary distribution of RubyCocoa, but I don't know if it works 
for all Mac OS X versions.

You can track down the required directories and files on your system. 
These are 'osx/objc/cocoa.rb' and files referenced in 'cocoa.rb'. As I 
recall there is a copy in the Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa directory or 
a subdirectory thereof. You can search your hard drive for 'cocoa.rb' 
and find it.

Then you can either (1) reference the correct location in the Ruby 
programs requiring these files or (2) copy them to the location 
referenced in the Ruby programs requiring these files.

Either way, once you do this, you'll get a real error referencing a 
missing Objective C superclass (or something like that, I forget all of 
the details). I have never gotten beyond that point.

If you have better luck, I am sure there are several people who would 
be interested in hearing about it.
