Subject: Re: Setting Up Ruby/Postgresql on Linux

CentOS 3.4 is a tad old -- are there any requirements on how recent the 
PostgreSQL and Ruby RPMs have to be?

If you can, upgrade to the latest CentOS, 4.3, then install a Ruby 1.8.4 
source RPM and a PostgreSQL 8.1.3 source RPM. I recommend installing 
from source RPMs because it's usually a PITA to hunt down bunches of 
binary RPMs, and if you set your compile flags correctly you'll get 
optimized code rather than something that will run on any old 386. :)

IIRC the Ruby on CentOS 4.3 is still 1.8.2, but I haven't checked 
recently, and I'm totally clueless as to the PostgreSQL version there. I 
just installed the whole 4.3 on a machine at work yesterday, so I can 
check it.
