NMatrix from the SciRuby project might be what you're looking for.

I can highly recommend the Ruby/GSL gem.
You may need to refer to the GSL manual to work out the name of the function you need to call though, if it's not documented in the Ruby/GSL documentation.

http://linalg.rubyforge.org/ seems to do what you want. It is based on LAPACK, the standard ultra tested 40-year linear algebra framework. Moreover, you can plug in vendor-specific LAPACK libraries for optimized code.
