I highly reccomend compiling from source RPMs if the distro the RPM was
built for is not your own.
Snag a .src.rpm, rpm --rebuild srpmfile -- you should get binaries.
If you want to tweak it, rpm -i srpmfile, then find the spec it spit out
(usually ruby.spec if the package name is ruby), edit the version
numbers, drop the source in the SOURCES directory, and then rpmbuild -ba
ruby.spec
Very useful, and since it was compiled on your distro, the dependencies
should resolve perfectly.
