Yes I have tried that.

The SCO libraries have some compatibility problems.

I Tried finding the "gcc" compiler and libraries but they were not
current enough and had compilation error too.

So I'm kind of wondering if anyone has actually got 1.8.x running yet.

I looked at the www.sco.com site and all I can find there is 1.6.7 which
is too old.

Have you tried to compile it from the source? Any problem with that?
Just in case you do not know how to do it:

gunzip ruby-1.8.5-p12.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd ruby-1.8.5-p12
./configure 
make
su
make install

It will make ruby available as /usr/local/bin/ruby

If you want another location to install ruby in, modify the configure
step with:

./configure --prefix=/location/that/you/prefer

Then after "make install" ruby will be available as
/location/that/you/prefer/bin/ruby
