An entry in my home-made list of un/installed pkgs :
140322 net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r201 [ 22 min : for gimp]
The date is when I removed it, having removed Gimp too ;
the time is compile+install time when I previously installed it ;
the current stable version is 2.2.6 , which mb much more demanding.
Generally, old hardware (how old is yours ? ) doesn't play well
with the latest versions of popular free software :
that's why there are distros designed for old hardware.

I've never had Ruby installed in this machine, so try juggling flags.
