thanks for the feedback.  Here's what I found works for me:

# ruby 1.9.1 install OS X
# download http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-6.0.tar.gz
./confgure
make
sudo make install

# http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
# download ruby-1.9.1-p243.tar.gz
autoconf
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby-191-p243  --with-readline-dir=/
usr/local --enable-pthread --enable-shared
make
sudo make install

# check your PATH
edit ~/.bash_profile
add to end of file:
 export PATH=/usr/local/ruby-191-p243/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# doing something more generic and having a symlink is also cool

sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install methopara
sudo gem install merb --source http://edge.merbivore.com --source
http://gems.rubyforge.org
sudo gem install thin

thanks, Jon
