Ruby 1.8.4 is broken in my Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft
I tried to install rmagick using gem today and got this:
raz@flere-imsaho:~/rubygems-0.9.0$ sudo gem update system Updating installed gems... Attempting remote update of system ERROR: While executing gem ...

Well, I have heard some rumours about the existence of some minor oddities with the Ubuntu version of Ruby so as I have done with other things, I am going to shun apt-get and compile from source instead.
Lets see what happens…!
