I don't know it is helpful, but my instiki wiki recentlystopped working, 
so I googled a bit with the error message provided, and discovered that 
I had to downgrade ruby, as ruby-1.8.3 has some incompatibilities I 
can't remeber now.

I added the line "=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3" in /etc/portage/package.mask and 
emerged dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2
