Ruby On Rails on CentOS 4.5

Since you can’t easily upgrade to CentOS 5 from 4.5 with yum you have to compile it all yourself.

The following script downloads and compiles a complete stack of the newest apps for a ruby on rails installation, even including PHP. Complete with SSL and the newest Subversion.
