The ruby19 port does not install a program called "ruby"; it installs  
a program called "ruby1.9". You can verify this with "port contents  
ruby19".

Software installed in /usr/local often interferes with the operation  
of MacPorts. I recommend you remove this part from your .profile and  
verify that you do not have any files in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/ 
include, /usr/local/lib and related directories before continuing with  
MacPorts.
