It didn’t come with the distribution, I installed it via apt-get. Is  
anyone else getting an error like this?

Exactly, 1.8.3 was released on 09/21/2005. Somebody took a development  
snapshot instead of taking critical patches and declared it the ruby to  
be  
used in Ubuntu Breezy. The people who noticed the version were a bit too  
late  
and Breezy had already been frozen.

Have you got Rails installed? It does some monkeypatching to class  
Logger. Its aimed at the standard logger, but since neither Logger nor  
Log4r are namespaced, and they both are class Logger, it effectively  
breaks Log4r.

I think.
