It would appear that you didn’t fully revert what you did.
There are problems with a custom built ruby on Snow Leopard¹.
Did you delete /usr/bin/ruby? And if so, is the thing you restored from backup the version from Snow Leopard, or just your own build of 1.8.7?
If you did delete the system ruby, are you aware that there is also / System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework?
