I vaguly remember that same issue. On a Debian box, I did this, and  
found  
the package I needed :

apt-cache search ‘irb’ |grep ruby

don’t know if that will help or not.

Joe:

Not familiar with the problem but why not try Locomotive. Google  
rails locomotive ruby and you’ll find it. It took away ALL my  
installation woes and is IMHO a great simplifier and wonderful  
environment. That said, best to try it for yourself and make your own  
mind up.
