The syntax error is caused by the fact that you are using ruby1.8, which
indeed does not support the syntax used (and is also severily outdated).

Did you force ruby1.8, or stopped the installation of ruby1.9.1 (which
should be the default in Wheezy), in any way? You probably shouldn't.

Please try using ruby1.9.1. just installing the `ruby` package should do
it.
