Seems like what you need is RVM. Makes it easy to install additional
Rubies without ruining your system ruby dependencies.

There is no official CentOS package for ruby 1.9. You will either
need to compile* and install it, or download a compatible RPM from the
internet and install that instead.

A quick google search shows a few options, like this page
http://www.kanarip.com/custom/el5-ruby/x86_64/ (I’m not vouching for
it, I just found it on google).

Good luck

  • Note, if you compile it yourself, you probably want to append 1.9 or
    1.9.1 or whatever to the binaries, otherwise things may get confused.
