installing ruby 1.8.7 on rimuhosting stack

A new installation will automatically install in /usr/local/   whilst your symbolic links are pointing to the installation in /usr/. The initial installation will therefoer not update your ruby version, unless you specify it everytime.

In order to make ruby 1.8.7 the default the symbolic links for ruby/gem/irb/erb/rake  all need to be updated. Then all gems will need to be reinstalled, and indeed the passenger configuration in apache will need to be updated.
