fcgid is probably the worst way imaginable to actually serve ruby pages.

use mongrel or passenger (I definitely recommend passenger). To get
passenger installed, you would have to install httpd-devel package.
Mongrel doesn't need that but you would struggle with getting the older
version of httpd on CentOS to proxy the connections to the mongrel
ports. But for development, you could probably just use webrick...

script/server

to start the server.

fcgid (or the much better passenger) are for deploying but in
development, just use webrick for now to get going. It's been so long
since I used fcgid, that I forgot what is needed (probably httpd-devel)
and maybe some other things but the truth is that fcgid still sucks.
