John's right. Yum and RVM will manage Rubies separately. Is there a specific reason you want Puppet to use 1.9.2 instead of CentOS 6's version from yum repos (1.8.7)? I run CentOS on close to 100 hosts, all with 1.8.7 as the default install. A number of these also have RVM with various Rubies installed. What's nice about RVM is that it gets you away from having to overwrite the system's version of Ruby.
As long as we're talking about installing from source, there's a 4th option: use RVM's Ruby 1.9.2-p230 to install the Puppet gem. Instructions are here (though you'll need to adapt it to your specific environment): http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html#installing-from-gems-not-recommended Please note that neither installing from source or gem is recommended. You're better off sticking with the native package management, as John suggests. Upgrading Puppet/RVM/Ruby could land you in hot water in the future.
