Don't Uninstall the pre-installed Ruby in Mac

And have you tried rubyosx?

The ruby in /usr/local/bin can be removed using this: http://punctuatedproductivity.com/2007/11/01/uninstalling-ruby-installed-by-source-on-os-x/#benefit

Have a look at RVM. Makes running multiple rubies and gemsets a breeze.

+1 for RVM. I'd also suggest pairing that with [homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/), which is a great way to install other libraries without messing around with OSX defaults.

I "third" the recommendation for rvm. It sets up your Ruby environment as a .rvm directory in your home directory. rvm then makes it easy to uninstall a particular Ruby instance, or all of them, and easily reinstall. Also, Wayne is easily reached on the IRC channel and often has the answer for your questions within seconds. Highly recommended.
