I believe redhat uses ruby for a lot of administrative stuff, including
their installer. Might be a reason why it's not the latest version.

A solution is to just install ruby 1.8 in a non standard location like
/usr/local, and use that version whenever you need 1.8. Then you can use
gems to keep all the various modules up to date.

I try to stay away from rpm's if I can, but I imagine that you can probably
find a 1.8 rpm and then given the right command line arguments make it
install in /usr/local. Then just repeat that on the servers where you need
1.8.


I'm not sure if /usr/local is the correct location on redhat though, you
will probably want to check that.
