I've done this using gems. I build Ruby from source (I use --prefix but not sure if it's required) and then use the new gem executable to install Puppet as gem. Works great for me if you can use gems
BTW, I did this because we use CentOS 5 and I wanted to use Ruby 1.9.x + Puppet 3.x and had too much trouble trying every other method. I also go one more step and build an RPM out of the new Ruby including it's gems. and distribute that to clients as a ruby+puppet package. I asked a similar question before: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-users/jRE97JXZqgQ/discussion I couldn't figure out how to make Puppet use my custom Ruby and so tried out this gem method. I'd love to hear if anyone else figures out another method.
