thanks Alexander and Jim

I knew I didn't find these things on centosplus but I didn't know about
dev.centos.org

I will definitely report back as I had mixed results today.

On my own FC-4 desktop, I got ruby on rails working without a problem.
After I realized that I wasn't going to get it working on the CentOS-4
server that I set up, I set it all up on the desktop (also FC-4) that I
am using at the client location. For some reason, all I could get was
blank html pages and 500 errors from webrick and I decided that it was
time to punt, go home and let it ride until tomorrow. I will now focus
on the CentOS-4 server which is where I wanted it to be anyway.

Also...as long as I am doing so well on ruby (I saw updates for
ruby/irb/rdoc/ruby-libs/ruby-devel/ (what the heck is ri ?) ...

How did you guys (or did anyone?) get mod_fastcgi installed? Did you
compile from source?

Thanks

Craig
