I had the same problem once. It turned out the rvm-script got loaded twice, which broke things a bit. Check all the files that load when you open a shell: /etc/profile ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile and so on, and make sure they don’t load RVM twice. Maybe put echo “Going to load RVM” before [[ -s “/Users/user/.rvm/scripts/rvm” … Read more
Use rvmsudo command instead of sudo
No RVM for you! From RVM’s FAQ: Does RVM work on windows? Will it in the future? NO. If you would like to manage multiple versions of ruby on windows please use pik which is an excellent tool by Gordon Thiesfeld. You can find it on GitHub. There are plans to include windows support in … Read more
Fixed it! The answer was actually on one of the links I posted above. Before installing a version of ruby (rvm install 1.8.7) I needed to run “export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2“. With that in place, everything ran smoothly. If you don’t want to have CC permanently exported, you can do CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.8.7 If you have … Read more
If your problem is to run binaries of a certain version, then: rails –version # => the latest version rails _2.3.10_ –version # => Rails 2.3.10 This pattern (gem-binary _gem-version_) works for any gem binary.
When building native Ruby gems, sometimes you’ll get an error containing “ruby extconf.rb”. This is often caused by missing development libraries for the gem you’re installing, or even Ruby itself. Do you have apt installed on your machine? If not, I’d recommend installing it, because it’s a quick and easy way to get a lot … Read more
I ended up installing zlib from apt-get and then reinstalling ruby to not use the rvm directory for zlib. Here’s how do: $ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev $ rvm reinstall 1.9.3 [Edit] As commenter @chrisfinne mentions, on CentOS/RedHat based systems: $ sudo yum install zlib-devel $ rvm reinstall 1.9.3
In my case rvm pkg install libyaml and rvm reinstall ruby-1.9.3-p125 solved the problem. For people using Ubuntu, make sure that libtool is installed prior to the steps above: sudo apt-get install libtool For macOS users (with homebrew): rm -rf /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/ && brew reinstall ruby
In case any one else comes across this while trying to update to 1.9.3 (although version probably doesn’t matter), check the version of rvm that you have. Wayne seems to have moved from rvm.beginrescueend.com to rvm.io. The old site’s security certificate has expired, so curl’s response is correct. Updating rvm from the new site fixed … Read more
It’s easy; just do the following: rvm implode or rm -rf ~/.rvm And don’t forget to remove the script calls in the following files: ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile And maybe others depending on whatever shell you’re using.
