my two cents. when working on ubuntu with ruby1.8 and ruby1.9 I would
suggest that you the commands

gem1.9
ruby1.9
irb1.9

(or 1,8 variant) consistently to make sure you working in the 1.9
environment throughout. in case you need the "gem, ruby, irb" with out
the "1.9" let me know and I will tell you how to achieve this on
ubuntu - have to look how though.

I also suggest you add ubuntu-on-rails even you are not using rails
since it will give you a newer version of rubygems

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa

maybe that helps you a bit further.

PS: I never used rvm so I can not say anything about it but with ruby
and ubuntu/debian there is always a ruby way and a ubuntu/debian way
and I stick to the ubuntu way since I need to keep my system uptodate
via the ubuntu channel - do not have the energy/time/desire to keep
parts of system updated manually (i.e. rubygems and others).

PSS
actually I am not installing any gems with sudo gem install since
might impact the ruby tools I installed via ubuntu. for my development
I use to set
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/localgems
export GEM_PATH=$HOME/localgems
and there I install all the gems I need for development work. here I
can wipe out things if I really need to without effecting any ubuntu's
tools
