That makes sense, somewhat.  It would constitute a pretty weird packaging 
issue, because rpmbuild normally does a very good job of identifying 
library version dependencies, and yum and rpm are very reliable about 
ensuring dependencies are installed (unless you start overriding them, in 
which case all bets are off).

Do you have more than one version of Ruby installed on the affected systems?
