Thanks Nicolas... that seems to work for me... though now "make install" 
stops at this line:

cp -r ./.ext/. /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8

Does this mean ruby 1.8.5 was installed successfuly, I thought it would 
comment if it was installed successfuly. Or does this indicate another 
problem?

When I type:
 >>ruby --version

It still prints out: 1.8.1.

I have also noticed I have 3 ruby directories:

/sw/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8

The first directory (/sw/lib/ruby/1.8) I think is the original(1.8.1) 
because I remeber seeing it there before attempting to install version 
1.8.5. I know that the last directory (usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8) is the 
new one which was created when attempting to install 1.8.5 and I am not 
sure about the second directory (/usr/lib/ruby/1.8), wether it is new or 
old.

Anyways, I am making a bit of progress now and thanks a lot for all your 
help so far.
