would have to agree with Henry, the problem lies with the ubuntu repos handling of gems and rails.
mentioned elsewhere, but I'll repeat here for clarity, install gems from source so the only part from repos is ruby and some misc ruby libraries. gems has a self update mechanism so it's not a big issue for maintenance.
