Normaly the executables are in
/usr/bin/ruby1.7
/usr/bin/ruby1.8
/usr/bin/rubyX.X
and then you have a symlink in
/etc/alternatives/ruby
which point to one of then executables in /usr/bin.
And last not least you have a symling from
/usr/bin/ruby -> /etc/alternatives/ruby
which mean, you can call your ruby-script with the shebang
#!/usr/bin/ruby
and it choose the default ruby executable from "alternatives" or
#!/usr/bin/rubyX.X
with the explicit version.
