Thanks for the clarifications. I went ahead and reconfigured and installed 1.9.2. I feel like this fixed my ruby issues because before when I looked up "which ruby" regardless of whether I was root or myself it pointed to my local directory, but now when I type which ruby as root I get /root/bin/ruby, which is good right? However, I still get "-bash: /usr/local/bin/gem: /usr/local/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: Permission denied" when I try to type "gem install rails". Any suggestions?

Hmm. Sounds like you installed ruby into root's home directory. Is that what you did? If so, it's not really good, and I'd remove that particular install, then simply follow the instructions in the ruby distribution so it installs under /usr/local/bin. You can then install rvm or rbenv to manage rubies in your own home directory.
