Jupp: Ruby has been compiled so there must be a C compiler.
[Jupp types above statement]
Jupp: Waitamoment, Ruby could have been cross-compiled...
[Jupp utters humming sounds]
Jupp: No, the statement is correct. Not because there *must* be a
compiler but because there actually *is* a compiler.

Do know of a platform that for which Ruby is available but for that
no C compiler exists (native C compilers for DOS definitely exist, I
use Pacific C - cute program by the way).
