Are the LaTeX sources, or a dvi, ps, or pdf version of "Programming Ruby"
available somewhere?

as far as I know there is only the HTML or XML versions available
online.
http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/book.html

but at the link above the authors mention the book was originally
written in LaTeX so you might contact them with your query.

Let me add ‘If you do so please tell us what they did answer.’
It would interest me, too (although I did buy the German translation
today - for a special price of 29.95 EUR; the normal price of 59.95
EUR kept me from buying it earlier).

Try:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@rubygarden.org:/usr/local/repository
login
password: anonymous
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@rubygarden.org:/usr/local/repository co
ruby/ProgrammingRuby

which Dave pointed me to a long time ago when I asked a similar
question.

Excellent!

Just as a matter of feedback, after changing the location of the interpreter
in the Makefile (latex/Makefile), and installing mkmf (ruby-dev in Debian)
and strscan, “make book” starts OK for a while and hangs after this

0: %&-line parsing enabled.
0: (./book.tex
0: panish, nohyphenation, loaded.
0: This is epsf.tex’ v2.7k <10 July 1997>
0: ! LaTeX Error: Command \seealso already defined.
0: Or name \end… illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
0: See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
0: Type H for immediate help.
0: …
0: l.216 }

several return key presses after that the compilation goes on.

Before that there are some non-fatal errors like these:

-:4 Error in a ruby code fragment on line 886
<<0>>“123 007b”
<<1>>“01111011 ’ 123’”
-:3:in sprintf’: unnumbered(1) mixed with numbered (ArgumentError)
from -:3

or this:

-:2 Error in a ruby code fragment on line 160
-:2:in new’: Connection refused - “connect(2)” (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
from -:2

It seems when the bibliography is going to be included the process just
hangs. I removed the lines about that in the Makefile and finally got the
book (sort of) as PostScript.

Thank you!
