Yes, 1.8.7 is fine for 2.3.4.

This is the script I use to install RoR and mysql on Ubuntu.  The
download path would need adjusting.  If you want passenger as well
have a look at the hackido site mentioned below.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/local/bin/irb
# rails latest version, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
sudo gem install rails --no-rdoc --no-ri
sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.2 --no-rdoc --no-ri
sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.3 --no-rdoc --no-ri
# use sudo gem install <gemname> to install others

Not quite as simple as InstantRails I admit, but not difficult.  It
may not work for all of course.
