Is there any tutorial/link/website that explains how to wrap existing
c/c++ libraries for use from within Ruby?

Google for "swig ruby" and you should find some useful links. SWIG
(http://www.swig.org/\) is a tool for semi-automatically generating
Ruby wrapper code for C/C++ libraries.

I tried swig but is not that clean. I am looking for hand wrapping C/C++
libraries for use with Ruby.

1. Radar – O’Reilly

2. There's a good introduction in
https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby-2nd-edition/, which you
should already own.

The Pickaxe (http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/index.html\) is probably your best source of information about this. Also the Ruby tarball includes a file called (iirc) README.EXT that has the basic information.
