FC 13 - 64bit and Ruby

[Scott Ford]

All:

I have a question concerning how to download a workable version of Ruby.
When I YUM INSTALL RUBY  i get ruby 1.8.6 which is great no issue but I want
to do some Rails development work and
the Rails requirement is 1.8.7 or 1.9.2 so how do i point YUM to the correct
Ruby.

Thanks in advance

I tried:  'yum install ruby-devel' and received this:

ruby-devel.x86-64 0:1.8.6.399-6.fc13

So i assume its 1.8.6 am i correct if so , 1.8.7 must be hiding out

If you're going to get involved in Ruby/Rails development, you really don't
want the distribution's repositories to control your version(s) of Ruby, nor
the gems you install. You also don't want the overhead of building from
tarballs yourself. Check out the Ruby Version Manager, rvm, at
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/. It allows you to have multiple Rubies
installed side-by-side and has some more advanced options for managing
separate gemsets or configuring specialized configurations like REE, Ruby
Enterprise Edition.
