See especially the paragraph marked "Important".

The easiest fix for Ruby is to add a TM_RUBY environment variable in TextMate's preferences (under Advanced → Shell Variables).

That is odd.  whereis reports /usr/bin/ruby on my machine, which is Apple's stock Ruby.  whereis only searches standard directories.  If you try 'which ruby' instead, it should find the version you installed.
