So I decided to instlal Rails. I needed to install from source since
RHEL included 1.8.1. I did this, installed from source, then gems, then
rails, all after uninstalling the ruby RPM for RHEL. Yet binaries still
remain in the path RHEL used (/usr/bin/rails, /usr/bin/ruby, etc.). Is
there any way to clean this up? The new stuff is in /usr/local/bin.

Hey preston-
One way to fix this would be to put /usr/local/bin in your path BEFORE /usr/bin. That way the new ruby will be called instead of the old one. If you don't like that one then just rename the /usr/bin/ruby and friends to /usr/bin/ruby.orig and it will still be there but never will be called by accident.
And in case you are having any othyer difficulties I made this tutorial on installing the whole rails/lighttpd/fcgi stack on RHEL from source so maybe it will be of some use to you.
Install the complete Ruby on Rails and Lighttpd/fastcgi/php Stack from source with the fastcgi dev kit and the pcre's. This has been tested on RHEL4, Debian Sarge, Ubuntu and OSX. It should work on most Linux Distro's and probably BSD as well(not tested)

Compile php as a fast-cgi binary The main thing here is the following configure options. You can add whatever else you like to your php binary but these are needed for fast-cgi support.
$ ./configure \
--enable-fastcgi \
--enable-discard-path \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \

Lighttpd Launcher Script
Here is a link for a sweet enhancement. Put this script in your RAILS_ROOT/script folder and put the lighttpd.conf file in RAILS_ROOT/config. Now you can launch your rails app by cd’ing into your RAILS_ROOT for your app and typing:
$ruby script/lighty -p 7500 -e development (or whatever port & env you want to use)
Now you can hit http://localhost:7500/ and you will get your app running on lighttpd no muss no fuss. Very sweet for development. Here is the link: BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing . Name the first ruby script lighty and name the config file lighttpd.conf. Now every time you start your app this way is creates a new lighttpd.conf in /tmp and starts lighttpd up with that file. This way you can give it command line options as to what port to bind to and others. I’m using this for development and it is sweet!
Hope that helps-
