Rails is just a Ruby gem (a set of them, really). So assuming your
problem is really with Rails and not your Ruby installation, at the
command line...

1) gem list

Make a copy of everything you've got installed. You can safely get rid
of most of them to get you back to just Ruby. Do not get rid of
'rubygems-update' or 'sources'. These will be needed to rebuild your
installation.

2) gem uninstall <each gem>

When you're done, make sure you've got a working, albeit basic, Ruby
installation. Easiest way, IMO, to do that is irb.

3) gem install <each gem you need to reinstall> -v<the specific version
you want to install>

HTH,
Bill
