Maybe 1.8.7 is more problematic. But as a debian user who uses ruby 1.8.6, I compile/install ruby by default to /usr/local and avoid any distro ruby Just make sure you have the source packages first: % aptitude install libreadline-dev % aptitude install zlib1g-dev % aptitude install libssl-dev % aptitude install libsqlite3-dev (aptitude replaces apt-get). Similar thing for redhat/centos; the package names are a little different. Then unpack ruby in /usr/local/src and do % ./configure && make % sudo make install (run 'make install' as root) And test: irb> require 'openssl' Warning: you may have trouble with rmagick. So either do your own wrapper or maybe try the 'mini_magick' gem. If you want to play with 1.9 or something, just change the prefix to install somewhere else: % ./configure --prefix=/home/user_name/ruby-1.9/ or some such.
