Gollum's desire for the ring at Mount Doom is not individual. Anyone, presented with this journey, choice, and final attempt, would likely succumb to the tempting power of the ring. Frodo and Gollum both did, and luckily the twin desires cancelled each other out and finger, ring, and Gollum all ended up in the fires. I can't think of a character who wouldn't try to take the ring at the last moment. The pull would be too strong.
