No part of the installation process involves creating a ruby directory
so somehow or other you've been led astray.  Try running the
vim-ruby-install.rb script instead.

There are 4 different files named eruby.vim.

If you have Vim 7.1, you already have the newest version of Vim/Ruby
anyways and the issue is moot.  (Though we're well overdue for a
release *cough*).

Oh, and if it's a default Ubuntu install, run "apt-get install vim",
as you have a stripped down version.

Cheers,
