Why not install from darwinports?

Step 1) Install darwinports
Step 2) sudo port install ruby rails rubygems
Step 3) there is no step 3 :)

Rubycocoa and anything else can use the darwinports ruby install just  
fine by adding /opt/local/bin to your path and changing the shebangs  
to '/usr/bin/env ruby'

... oh, and darwinports doesn't clutter your system -- everything  
sits under /opt/local/ so you can try it out w/o fear of nuking your  
default system libraries.
