I'm putting the finishing touches on a new server, which will be replacing an old one. It's got a non-rpm ruby package (I hear lots of

things about the RH package). The new server had ruby installed, so I went to yum remove it.
And it removed ibutils as a dependency of ruby or ruby-libs.
rpm -qi of ibutils tells me Summary : OpenIB Mellanox InfiniBand Diagnostic Tools Description : ibutils provides IB network and path diagnostics.
On 5.8, it's installed, and ruby isn't. Anyone have any idea why Infiniband utils should be required for ruby?
just to test - try:
yum install ruby
here (5.8) no ibutils rpm will be installed to satisfy a ruby dependency.
Right - sorry, the new server's 6.3. Actually, I've just tried, and must be missing something, because now doing just what you suggested, which I *thought* I'd done before, it only wants to install ruby-libs, not iputils, nor, for that matter, graphviz-(whatsit).
My manager figures that there's a ruby script in ibutils, which makes sense.
