When I installed Puppet on RHEL3 servers I had to first rebuild ruby-1.8.6: http://ppadron.blog.br/2009/10/28/how-to-install-ruby-1-8-6-rpm-package-on-rhel3/ Take a look at Todd Zullinger's comment on this and rebuild puppet RPM package. In my case, I did it with 0.24.8. You can get puppet specfiles in the Fedora CVS (http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/), but I guess they are shipped in the puppet tgz.
