Okay, but there is a serious problem with the current installation. It needs to be fixed, if you want to try to patch rbconfig.rb then that is fine but that is a dirty hack IMO. I don't see why --program-suffix= would not work, but maybe try to address that problem? At the moment, rubygems, mkmf, will all possibly fail because they think ruby is installed as /usr/bin/ruby but it hasn't be. So either, install as /usr/bin/ruby(which may conflict with older installations), monkeypatch rbconfig.rb(dirtiest option), or get ./configure to work like it should.
