You forgot to change RUBY_SOURCE_URL in the script. There is a comment in the script that mentions you need to change it.

The folks at
endpoint.com provide packages not just of gems, but of a full REE/Passenger stack.
https://packages.endpoint.com/rhel/5/ruby-enterprise-opt/SRPMS/
It still requires some TLC to get up and running as you want it, but it’s a good starting point.

I usually prefer an existing repository as well. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to add any non-official Red Hat repositories to the production servers at work. The method I presented uses the official Ruby packages from Red Hat and just downloads the Ruby Gem sources.

I prefer to use the EPEL repository (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). It contains a lot of useful software, including RubyGems.
