i always steal ruby rpms from this site:

  http://www.caliban.org/ruby/

it's impossible not to find if you spend a minute on google.

the above rpms work with redhat 7.x. grab the src rpm and rebuild (rpm 
--rebuild) on your favorite distro/version.

ruby -v from this package prints:

  ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i686-linux-gnu]

PS: thanks, ian :)
