For RHEL derivatives one option might be Redhat's Software Collections. They have added Ruby 1.9.3 support to RHEL through that. I have testing it out on my todo list, but haven't made it that far yet. I'm not quickly finding a link to the actual RPM, but here's their PDF about it: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/1/html-single/Software_Collections_Guide/index.html
