I made more progress, but those RPMs want libdb-4.2 and RedHat Enterprise 
Server 3.0 is still using 4.1.  At this point, I think I'll just put 
installing Ruby on hold, I don't really want to install unexpected 
versions of db4.

Thanks for the pointer, I will certainly use it on my systems at home.
