I found the problem on my system to be slightly different than the one
described in the link. The
conflict was due to xmlsimple.rb being included as well as lib/
xmlsimple.rb which is nothing more
than a link to the original file.

The following script worked for me:

#!/bin/sh

cd /usr/lib/ruby/1.8
if [ -h lib/xmlsimple.rb ]
then
  mv lib/xmlsimple.rb lib/xmlsimple.rb.old
  mv xmlsimple.rb lib/.
  cat > xmlsimple.rb <<!
require ''lib/xmlsimple.rb''
!
else
  echo `pwd`/lib/xmlsimple.rb is not a link. Exiting.
