Is there a _source_ RPM for the latest stable Ruby somewhere on the  
Internet? A quick check of Google didn’t turn anything up, and I didn’t  
see it on the new web site either. I need the source RPM; I have found  
binary RPMs but they are of no use for what I am doing. Thanks!

[rpmfind.net](http://rpmfind.net) shows 1.8.5 in FC6 development and in mandriva cooker.

PLD has one, though it’s pretty PLDish.

I also found a rather complete collection in openSuse:

[http://software.opensuse.org/download/ruby/SuSE\_Linux\_10.1/src/](http://software.opensuse.org/download/ruby/SuSE_Linux_10.1/src/)

I was hoping for something “Fedora/RHEL” like, since the target system  
is CentOS 4, but I think any of these will work. Thanks!
