Subject: Re: Should I upgrade Ruby from 1.8.5 to 1.8.7?

There have been a few threads on this so far.  Possibly the right  
thing to do is to install multiple versions and flip back and forth  
if you run into difficulties.  Unfortunately, this is complicated and  
there are hidden problems.   I was laughing about it the other day  
with someone because installing Ruby is ironically configuration over  
convention.

My own wishful thinking is that Ruby installation becomes more  
standardized and that the source comes in a nice friendly repository  
that is easy on the disk so I could quickly select, build, and  
install different versions in some standard way.
