disclaimer: i work at opscode now...
you can do this with chef-solo
something like this snippet, but add --prefix to configure and modify the
rest to your taste:
ruby_version = "1.9.3-p125"
bash "compile ruby #{ruby_version} from sources" do
cwd "/tmp"
code <<-EOH
rm -rf /tmp/ruby-#{ruby_version}
wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org//pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-#{ruby_version}.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ruby-#{ruby_version}.tar.gz && cd ruby-#{ruby_version}
./configure && make && make install && ln -sf /usr/local/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
EOH
creates "/usr/local/bin/ruby"
end

I might be in a situation where I need to install and configure software on
Linux servers without having root access (I'd have my own filesystems, and a
"power user" which owns those filesystems). Yet I need this task to be easily
repeatable (read: as automated as possible).
Is it worth trying to do this with puppet?
Are there tools specialised for this kind of tasks (software install, config,
change of config files)?
Thanks.
