rhc setup gives syntax error

Question

I am following this openshift client tools for ubuntu. I've just created an application on rhcloud and I am trying to install client tools to get my code installed on rhcloud. I get the following error

viju@viju:~$ rhc setup

Could someone tell what exactly I am missing in, why there be a syntactual error or at least a pointer to get me installed the application on rhcloud.

The errors you are getting seem to be because you are using an older version of ruby that does not support the new syntax like

symbol: "value"

Try upgrading to a newer version of ruby, at least 1.9.3
