Try checking if the file /usr/bin/ruby1.9 or /usr/local/bin/ruby1.9 exists, and if either of them does, link it symbolically to "ruby" as per

  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.9 /usr/bin/ruby
  sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby1.9 /usr/local/bin/ruby1.9

(choose the appropriate version)

Sorry, typo. The second command should read

  sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby1.9 /usr/local/bin/ruby

(without the "1.9" at the end)

/usr/bin/ruby1.9 exists and ruby1.8 is also in the same directory. /usr/local/bin/ruby1.9 doesn't exist.
