I want to install Ruby on Rails, but I need at least, Ruby 1.8.2. There is no update for ruby in the repositories. How can I find a a ruby 1.8.2 rpm that works in Centos 4.2?

thanks to Jim Perrin
report back on your success/lack thereof - I certainly have.
this is what I installed...
ruby (from dev.centos.org) irb-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ri-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ruby-devel-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ruby-libs-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm rdoc-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ruby-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ruby-docs-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm ruby-mode-1.8.4-1.c4.i386.rpm

Yes, according to a Centos howto they are in the testing repo. Never made it update, so I downloaded those packages manually and made it by myself.

---- which does bring up a point...that Rails 1.1 was released today and it specifically excludes all versions of 1.8.3 of ruby so you might as well ditch those packages. 1.8.2 or 1.8.4 only for Rails-1.1

Have you used google to search for "ruby 1.8.2 rpm"? Remember that you should be able to install rpms for CentOS 4, RHEL 4, or Fedora Core 4. HTH ~Lorin

2 out of 3 on your shooting. fedora core 4 rpms are built against different versions of libraries, etc. You can rebuild some of the src.rpms to run on centos, but the binaries will probably cause issues. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775

did I miss something? Did upstream finally get off 1.8.1-x ?
No they didn't, I was merely advising against installing fedora core 4 binaries on a centos system. They don't play nicely with the other packages.

---- I probably would have tried to rebuild the FC-4 src.rpm had it come to that...thankfully, you've got the right stuff in dev.centos.org
