I'd like to recommend the frameos version instead. If you're going to do it from source, the frameos ruby spec file is much simpler, with much smaller diff files against the distro, and doesn't compile in a bunch of japanese and Tk stuff. I've been updating the spec file to track the latest ruby patchlevel with no other changes, and that works fine for me.
