Not knowing what goes in your system or what's blocking it: that's not
how gentoo works, sorry. It never was and it never will be.

ruby is a programming language, like python, perl, or what not.

When several versions of a programming language are available for
installing some package, which version to use is controlled by a
lang_target_version_number USE flag. These are also conveniently
controlled by a LANG_TARGETS variable in make.conf, which specify the
versions to install globally. e.g. PYTHON_TARGETS.

Portage is complaining that you are trying to install some packages
for ruby 1.9, and others for ruby 2.0.

The easiest way to get through your use blocks is to force portage to
install ruby 2.0 globally instead.

RUBY_TARGETS="ruby20"

in make.conf.
