Update ruby 1.8.5 to 1.8.6 on Plesk 8.2.1, on FC6

[gcoderre]

I have a rather newbish question: I am using Ruby On Rails and I need the latest version of Ruby.

How would I update ruby from 1.8.5 to 1.8.6 on Fedora Core 6, with Plesk 8.2.1?

I tried to install from source in usr/local/bin and update my path but then Rails / Mongrel would complain that a bunch of things are missing (openssl, amongst other things, even though it IS installed)

Thanks in advance for your help & advices!

As far as I know, Ruby/RoR suport is basically provided by 'psa-ruby' package. Therefore, you could try running Plesk Autoinstaller and see if it upgrades Ruby for you: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller
Also, AFAIK, Ruby/RoR is considered installed on the server if the ruby packages from Plesk are installed (inlcuding ruby-libs, ruby-devel, ruby, psa-rubyrails-configurator ..). For example:

[root@gendalf ~]# rpm -qa | grep ruby
ruby-libs-1.8.5-5.el5
ruby-irb-1.8.5-5.el5
ruby-actionmailer-1.3.3-200705221359
ruby-rails-1.2.2-200705221400
ruby-mysql-2.7-200705221400
ruby-activerecord-1.15.3-200705221358
ruby-fcgi-0.8.7-200705221359
psa-rubyrails-configurator-1.1.6-cos5.build82070918.10
ruby-activesupport-1.4.2-200705221358
ruby-actionwebservice-1.2.3-200705221359
ruby-devel-1.8.5-5.el5
ruby-actionpack-1.13.3-200705221358
ruby-rake-0.7.1-200705221400
ruby-1.8.5-5.el5

Try finding the missing packages at http://autoinstall.plesk.com or\and ftp://download1.swsoft.com and install them with 'rpm -Uvh ...' command.
