Fedora 12 maxes out it's Ruby version at 1.8.6. Unfortunately, compass / sass requires 1.8.7. The following steps creates a suitable RPM, and installs it :
bash
# cd ~
# wget http://mo.morsi.org/blog/files/ruby-1.8.7.249-1.fc11.src_.rpm
# yum install rpm-build
# yum install ncurses-devel gdbm-devel tcl-devel tk-devel libX11-devel autoconf db4-devel byacc bison emacs compat-readline5-devel
# rpmbuild --rebuild ruby-1.8.7.249-1.fc11.src_.rpm
# cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/
# rpm -Uvh *
$ export RUBYLIB="/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/"
$ compass create XYZ
