2.2.9. Ruby
The
ruby package provides the Ruby interpreter and adds support for the Ruby programming language. The ruby-devel package contains the libraries and header files required for developing Ruby extensions.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux also ships with numerous
ruby-related packages. By convention, the names of these packages have a ruby or rubygem prefix or suffix. Such packages are either library extensions or Ruby bindings to an existing library.
Examples of
ruby-related packages include:
- ruby-flexmock
- rubygem-flexmock
- rubygems
- ruby-irb
- ruby-libguestfs
- ruby-libs
- ruby-qpid
- ruby-rdoc
- ruby-ri
- ruby-saslwrapper
- ruby-static
