Hi,

Do you really have anything that relies on Ruby or its libraries, besides Ruby?
I'm running Mandrake (Mandriva...) 10.2, and it came with 1.8.2. I just uninstalled the RPMs for 1.8.2, then compiled and installed 1.8.4 from source - no problems.

HTH

Subject: How to upgrade Ruby

Hi all,

My Mandrake 10.0 (don't laugh, I've been slow to upgrade) has Ruby 1.8.1. I
need at least 1.8.2 in order to use Rails, according to the book I dissed and
now am fervently reading.

Is there a simple way of upgrading my Ruby without going through dependency
hell and maybe busting half my other stuff?
