It seems like you are trying to run a package, not actually learn ruby
or rails.

Ruby, the 'Pickaxe' book is the authorative version which I believe the
first version is freely downloadable but not entirely up to date. I have
the second version (dead tree form) which I believe is probably out of
date but it is generally a ruby reference and not any specific help to
rails applications but invaluable as a ruby reference.

I honestly don't know what redmine is/does.

If the objective is just to run this package and you want to not fight
it, then I suspect that you will have to install httpd-devel package,
then try to install fcgi again and then look at the log file referenced
in the error message if it fails to build (obviously because something
is missing). But you will also have to configure http to execute the
fcgi and I've long forgotten how but you can surely find that by google
searching. But in the end, fcgi is still a miserable, unstable way to
run a rails application and passenger is very sweet.
