'Ruby' folder???

Hi,

Could you please let me know what the folder 'Ruby' in '/Library' is? It has 2 folders namely 'Gems' and 'Sites'. I am not sure if it is a pre-installed folder or it got installed later? Is it a malware? Thanks in advance.

Macbook White, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I'll guess that it has to do with the Ruby programming language:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_(programming_language)

In any case, it came with your Mac OS X installation. Don't worry about it.
