I think the easiest way is to simply download the tarball from
www.ruby-lang.org and compile it yourself. If you've already got the
Xcode tools installed, it's simply a matter of

/configure
make
sudo make install

And the make sure you've got /usr/local/bin in front of /usr/bin in your
PATH:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

You can install it from your OS X installation disk (look for
XcodeTools.mkpg), or you can download the latest version from here:

Hi,

Why do you think there is no allready compiled one-click binady .dmg
package for Mac OS X with all of standard tools? In this case the
number of Ruby group will grow aloud, i think. I've just compiled Ruby
myself, but it was unpleasant for me to install huge xcode tools.
And now we have just windows compiled one-click package -
Discrimination.
