Right.

I believe

      sudo apt-get install ruby ruby1.8-dev libopenssl-ruby rubygems  
swig libsqlite3-ruby1.8 flex bison

gets you everything you need to install/run itex2MML and Instiki.

In particular, you don't need a GEM installation of Rails.

On the other hand, to run the upgrade script

     http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/instiki/show/Upgrading

does require rake, which probably does need to be installed via a GEM.
