 Ah yes, that dreaded article which destroyed so many installations…

 So there are basically three options to fix this. You can do it by hand as
 you did, but this can still leave you with many broken stuff and will lead
 to hard to debug annoying issues. The best solution imo is a re-
 installation of at least the system. You can do an “archive & install”
 which means your user data will preserved but the system will be removed
 and re-installed.

 Good luck!

 PS: As stated before, this isn't an issue with MacRuby, so I'm labelling
 it as “invalid”
