I'm on a Windows box and writing from memory, so forgive me if the
following fails:
1) Install MacOS X Developer Tools CD
2) Open a terminal window
sudo bash
(enter your root password here)
cd /usr/local/src
curl -O ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1....
tar xzf ruby-1.8.5.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.8.5
/configure
make && make install
