Solved: it was a problem with an existing rubygems installation. The
Metasploit Framework needs ruby-1.9 to work, understanding that no one
still carries out such version in their stable releases (I think),
Rapid7 chooses to build a metasploit bundle with everything within,
ready to use.
Unfortunately, theirs run.sh setup script does not take into account the
GEM_PATH variable: having any system gems overlapping with the framework
ones will break everything.
The current 3.3 release is unusable in Slackware+rubygems unless you
remove any conflicting system gems or you unset the GEM_PATH variable
before running any msf* programs. There already is a ticket for such
issue, I will resend an up-to-date SlackBuild as soon as 3.3.1 is out.

Ciao!
