Nope. Sudo would require configuring first of all, and as Jim is a newbie,
I doubt that has been done yet. The steps I would take is:

``

cd $HOME && mkdir ./tmp
cp ./ruby-1.8.0.tar.gz ./tmp && cd ./tmp
tar xzvf ./ruby-1.8.0.tar.gz
cd ./ruby-*
./configure && make && su -c'make install'

''

HTH,

I''m only a newbie to Linux packages. I have built Ruby many times
from source, for Linux, Sun and FreeBSD. What I don''t know about
is linux packages, hence the questions.
