Ruby, irb problem and kludgy solution

I installed Ruby 1.8, irb 1.8 and all the associated stuff. Trouble is, when I try to invoke Ruby or irb by entering "Ruby" or "irb" at the command line I get a not found. My kludge was to go to /usr/bin and symlink ruby to ruby1.8 and irb to irb1.8.

I don't think this is optimal but I'm not sure what else to do about to get Ruby and irb running.
