This is definitely wrong ... It should at least bail out telling you it 
got the wrong version.

Now, you should definitely NOT select the ruby version in the cmake 
code. I start using 2.0 on debian, and try 2.1 out.

The point of making gems (which we already did for you) is that there 
*are* tools to convert gems to <insert binary package format here>, as 
e.g. gem2deb.

It is therefore, as always, better to go for the standard (for cmake, 
having a proper install target, for ruby, package as gems)... Other 
people usually have done the rest of the work for you.

Which "manual changes" are you talking about here ?
