Hey preston-
One way to fix this would be to put /usr/local/bin in your path =20
BEFORE /usr/bin. That way the new ruby will be called instead of the =20
old one. If you don't like that one then just rename the /usr/bin/=20
ruby and friends to /usr/bin/ruby.orig and it will still be there =20
but never will be called by accident.
And in case you are having any othyer difficulties I made this =20
tutorial on installing the whole rails/lighttpd/fcgi stack on RHEL =20
from source so maybe it will be of some use to you.
Install the complete Ruby on Rails and Lighttpd/fastcgi/php Stack =20
from source with the fastcgi dev kit and the pcre's. This has been =20
tested on RHEL4, Debian Sarge, Ubuntu and OSX. It should work on most =20=
Linux Distro's and probably BSD as well(not tested)

Compile php as a fast-cgi binary The main thing here is the following =20=
configure options. You can add whatever else you like to your php =20
binary but these are needed for fast-cgi support.
$ ./configure \
--enable-fastcgi \
--enable-discard-path \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \

Lighttpd Launcher Script
Here is a link for a sweet enhancement. Put this script in your =20
RAILS_ROOT/script folder and put the lighttpd.conf file in RAILS_ROOT/=20=
config. Now you can launch your rails app by cd=92ing into your =20
RAILS_ROOT for your app and typing:
$ruby script/lighty -p 7500 -e development (or whatever port & env =20
you want to use)
Now you can hit
http://localhost:7500/ and you will get your app =20
running on lighttpd no muss no fuss. Very sweet for development. Here =20=
is the link:
http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/303 . Name =20
the first ruby script lighty and name the config file lighttpd.conf. =20
Now every time you start your app this way is creates a new =20
lighttpd.conf in /tmp and starts lighttpd up with that file. This way =20=
you can give it command line options as to what port to bind to and =20
others. I=92m using this for development and it is sweet!
Hope that helps-
