RPM of Ruby 1.8.x

Don't let that grind you down, you'll always find people willing to
help you here, you have made a smart choice with ruby, we should
encourage that.

It get tiresome at times. I'm doing what I can to avoid leaving any weird setups for my offshore replacement.

I don't have a RHEL here right now, but if I get my hands on one I'll
let you know.

White Box Linux is a clone of RHEL 3.0. I've been using it for testing while waiting for the RedHat Licenses to arrive. Very cool. I need to set up a User Mode Linux virtual machine running it on one of my systems at home.

It's not what I know that counts, it's what I can remember in time to use.

I can't speak for Carl, but my comment was meant to support the
creation of packages. I'm not saying "install from source" is bad
advice, I'm saying I wish there were more alternatives.

Having burned a weekend (2 wks ago) trying to get the perfect setup to
install/compile mod_ruby and Arrow on Win32 -- without success -- I
may be a bit jaded :confused:

Having a standard ruby RPM would do a lot to promote the wider
availabiltiy and distribution of ruby. Telling someone to install
from source does not handle every contingency.
