Because it's not correct! You see that at least a / is missing.

For bash export means, put this name and its associated value into the  
environment of this bash instance. All processes derived from this  
shell will inherit this value.

The correct syntax for the export statement in ~/.bashrc would be, now  
that I know of /usr/local/bin/ruby:

        export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

You would need super-user access. For example launch in Terminal 'sudo  
emacs -nw'. Then you could change /etc/profile, but that's not the  
right solution! Every time you install an update of Mac OS X this file  
might get changed ... Do it for your account in ~/.bashrc, and do it  
like above re-using the old PATH value.

To show it's a bug caused by DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH you would need to rename  
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/emacs/22.0.50/site- 
lisp/site-start.d/carbon-emacs-builtin.aspell.le to the old name and  
comment the unset from .bashrc, launch Carbon Emacs, and see whether  
Ruby still works. In the beginning you had two problems: wrong PATH  
(therefore only the wrong ruby programme found) and possibly  
inappropriate setting of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now the PATH is corrected.  
The question left, is whether ruby still works correctly although  
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is pointing into the wrong direction. If you find the  
answer, please send it to me and I'll try to discuss this topic with  
the makers of Japanese Carbon Emacs in their list.
