I can't find a repository that contains ruby 1.8.7. All repos only contain 1.8.5 or 1.8.6 versions.

Does anyone know of any repos with ruby-1.8.7?

RBEL Repo provides Ruby packages for RHEL based distro's.

I also searched for a more recent ruby for RHEL 5 / centos, nothing found. Maybe other, recent ruby versions break other things...

    Indeed, it will probably break all extensions compiled against the shipped version of Ruby, so you'll need to recompile extensions and packages that you want to use with it. RHEL/CentOS usually remains on a single major version of a package to provide ABI stability and compatibility. – Dominic Cleal Jul 24 '11 at 12:58

I can't either but you can still install from rpm.

Here are some links.

Obviously as these are unknown third party sources, you should make your own assessment on the security implications.
