UPDATE: It appears that it is Ruby that is having the issue with the
hack. I called the old 1.8.6-p111 ruby that was the previous standard
install (thankfully, I'd renamed rather than overwriting!), and it
works. I'd still like to know the proper way to fix it, but I can limp
along with this.
There is a ubygems.rb file in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8, as well as one in the
gem directory for rubygems-1.3.3. :-\
