I solved this problem on my 5.5 servers in the following manner:

login: not_as_root_user . . . $ # Add rpmforge repos to yum per: $ # http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge $ sudo yum install checkinstall $ wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p334.tar.gz $ # to get latest or most desired source change version as required $ tar -xzf ruby-1.8.7-p334.tar.gz $ # expand source archives in /tmp $ cd ruby-1.8.7-p334 $ # change to source directory $ ./configure $ # configure makefile for this host $ make $ # build the Ruby VM $ checkinstall $ # package ruby VM and suppport files as an RPM package $ sudo yum localinstall \ /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ruby-1.8.7-p334-1.i386.rpm \ --nogpgcheck $ # install the rpm package from the checkinstall location
