There are Ruby RPM's for most versions of Redhat - someone pointed you
a repository, so I won't go there further.

However, depending on what repositories have already been added to
your
VPS, try this first:

up2date -i ruby

If that doesn't work (doesn't find a package), try:

yum install ruby

Note that you can install and use apt-get on Redhat too if you like:
