Since AIX now supports RPM as a package format, I would like to build a  
RPM of 1.8.5 that I can install on a number of systems. So far, I have  
been unsuccessful at finding an existing SRPM of Ruby for AIX. Quite  
likely I’m not looking in the right place. So, any suggestions for  
where  
to find a SRPM of any version of Ruby for AIX?

If I can’t find that, I will probably try modifying the SRPM that is  
used  
for CentOS 4.4. Any words of wisdom about it?

It’s what I can remember in time to use.
