I'm not really sure if this is a packaging problem or a Ruby problem.
I need Gems > 1.8 to install another package.
gem update --system is a good starting point for making sure you're at the highest version of Rubygems. If your version doesn't support it then you'll need to bootstrap it, because that capability hasn't always been available.
Personally, I never use the repos for my Ruby/Python/Perl installations, instead I make sure I have the needed dependencies, then compile from source.
Consider installing rbenv or RVM and let it manage your Ruby installations. RVM has more features and is more intrusive. rbenv is simpler with fewer features -- personally I use rbenv.

I tried to install Ruby with version specified 2.5.1 (the version is just example), and tried following script, but I got an error as follows. Is it possible to install Ruby with a version using apt installing so I can deal with Ruby version dependency issue?

You can install rbenv which is a Ruby Environment and then you can install the version of Ruby you want over it.
Refer to this answer.
The specific version of ruby you want to install has to be a package available in your Ubuntu distro's package repository. A quick way to check this is using apt list | grep ruby-full or apt list | grep ruby.
If you don't find the version you're looking for, you can add a repository and download it from there. Brightbox is a widely used repository maintaining several ruby version packages. Their installation docs should help you.
Note: I still recommend that you use a ruby version manager like rbenv or rvm.
so I'm currently trying to upgrade the python version in the bash on ubuntu on windows subsystem. However from my understanding it is not easy to update python from the command line. Lastly, "where" exactly is my unix subsystem? For example, is there something like a unix portion on my file system, where I can just drag files into? Thanks
It is an older question, however I had to do the same thing today (use python3.6 on my windows 10 laptop).
Press Windows + R (to open the run command dialog)
Type: bash + press Enter
You will get a new windows bash prompt window.
Type first lsb_release -a to check that you run the latest bash/ubuntu environment on your Windows Machine (might be ubuntu 14.04, while 16.04 is the current one).
raz#HOSTNAME:~/myPlayground$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
If you are running an older version upgrade by running do-release-upgrade
raz#HOSTNAME:~/myPlayground$ sudo do-release-upgrade
[sudo] password for raz:

raz#HOSTNAME:~/myPlayground$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6

You can search your 'Start Menu' for 'Bash' and get the app that will open a command prompt from within Ubuntu Linux (not Unix).
AFAIK you cannot drag and drop into this from Explorer.exe but you may be able to run a Linux file app that can do this with X11 installed.
Finally, from Bash on Ubuntu command line app, you can run 'sudo apt-get install python3' to get latest for Ubuntu.

From your log:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /var/lib/gems/2.3.0 directory.
Middleman was not successfully installed because your user can't write to the directory it should be installed in.
You have two easy options:
run sudo gem install middleman
run sudo gem install bundler, and then in your project directory, create a Gemfile with the following content:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "middleman", "~> 4.1"
and run bundle install in the project directory.
You should really do option 2 so you can keep multiple version of gems installed.
You could also not use the system Ruby and install one yourself with RVM or rbenv, but that is a little more work.
So, was reading about pkg-config (I think it's included by default on Debian, which I'm on). But every time I try to find the version for something, it gives me 0.26.

0.26
santeyio#Amadeus:/$ pkg-config --version libre-office

santeyio#Amadeus:/$ pkg-config --version firefox
0.26
santeyio#Amadeus:/$
So, I tried sudo apt-get removing it, then installing it again. But I get the same results. I know I'm missing something stupid here... can anyone point me in the right direction?
Here's the output from my re-installing, if that's helpful...

I have RVM running and it is working brilliantly, but I can't seem to figure out how to install ruby-gnome2. I have followed the steps on this tutorial, which are:
rvm use 1.9.1 # I use 1.9.1 which should work with ruby-gnome2
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4.tar.gz
tar zxf ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4.tar.gz
cd ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4/
ruby extconf.rb —ruby=`which ruby`
make
make install
This produces no errors, so I assume it worked. So I try to test it with:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'gtk2'
Which gives me this error:
irb(main):001:0> require 'gtk2'
LoadError: no such file to load -- gtk2
Why am I not able to install ruby-gnome2?
Install system dependecies:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libcairo-dev
libsqlite3-dev libpango1.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0
Install gtk2 gem which is ruby-gnome2:
gem install gtk2
You can run this tiny script to verify that gtk2 is installed:
require 'gtk2'
win = Gtk::Window.new("My ruby-gnome2 project")
win.show_all
Gtk.main
I hope that, when you followed those instructions, on the line:
ruby extconf.rb —ruby=`which ruby`
You actually:
used two dashes -- (the code in the page replaced those two dashes with a long one)
replaced the `which ruby` (note the backticks) with the actual output of running that command on your OS (with no backticks)
If not, that's your error.
If you actually did all those, please post the output you got from the ruby extconf.rb ... line.
In order to build ruby-gnome2 for RVM with all dependencies, ensure the following packages are installed before you build your ruby binary:
sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-dev libpanel-applet-4-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libvte-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libbonobo2-dev libbonoboui2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libpoppler-dev libglade2-dev libart-2.0-dev libgnomeprint2.2-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libgtkglext1-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libgoocanvas-dev libgnomevfs2-dev libgconf2-dev librsvg2-dev
You can rebuild it again after installing these with:
rvm install 1.9.1
Then, follow the instructions you posted:
rvm use 1.9.1 # I use 1.9.1 which should work with ruby-gnome2
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4.tar.gz
tar zxf ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4.tar.gz
cd ruby-gnome2-all-0.19.4/
ruby extconf.rb —ruby=`which ruby`
# Alternatively you may use the following line
# to install into rvm's dir and avoid conflict with system libs
# ruby extconf.rb --ruby=`which ruby` --prefix=$MY_RUBY_HOME
make
make install
