AFAIK rbx and some of the earlier 1.9.x dev branches need 1.8.7 installed.

It seems that you have to install 1.8.7 before installing 1.9.x, but you don't need to install a "system" ruby

I love you. That is all I have to say at the moment... *leaves to install on production server*

Thanks for the pointer - I changed it. I also posted the script as a gist, so feel free to fork, and improve.

Thanks!

Quick improvement... in your experimental rvm group management, you should use 'chmod -R g+w /usr/local/rvm' instead of an explicit 744. This will preserve all other permissions and just add group-write capabilities.

Glad to hear that it worked for you! Really odd about the system ruby requirement however - I have never run into that.

Excellent article. I followed the instructions on a fresh install of Debian 5.04 Lenny. When I tried

rvm install 1.9.2-head

it failed. In my case, a system ruby had to exist, so

apt-get install ruby

before using rvm.

When you source rvm in your /etc/bashrc did you read the stuff about return statements? That's a gotcha. rvm should set that all up for you, and when you start a new session it 'jest works'. :-)

Thanks a lot, just an update.

The problem is that with rvm I don't have the gem EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY included in my PATH

Also - jump into #rvm on freenode and ask for help if your sill having issues.

I really don't use sudo - I just make sure that who ever is going to need to admin the machine's rvm install is a member of the group that owns the directory. And, if you sudo, you'll want to make sure that you do something like
sudo su rvm use blah gem install blah

hi, just curious if you are having problems with rails.
if I do
sudo gem install rails
everything goes fine but afterwords even if gem list shows rails
rails --version
gives me a no command error.

Any hints?

haha - oh yeah.

Room *is* relative though. My 250 MB HDD was huge when I got it - now a 250GB HDD is small...

Now that hard drives have ample room I'm not as monolithic as I once was... But ti's nice to know I'm being thought of. ;)

That is a good point. I've seen sudo have wildly different incantations to get it running.

debian: sudo su works
centos sudo su - works
mac sudo su works

rvm is really nice - It's sure made my life easier.

fliterfish — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:00:11 -0000

Just a nitpick but you want to use sudo -i instead of sudo su. That will give you a full root shell. sudo -s will give you a root login but it won't run the root's .bashrc which is similar to sudo su.

Nice article though, I think you've finally convinced me to use rvm.

I'd do the following:

rvm update --head

and then

rvm remove jruby && rvm install jruby

and then try again. If that fails, you should hit up wayne in IRC (#rvm on freenode) or in the google group!

Hey guys

when I run the command to test, in Jruby it raise this error.

Ruby 1.8.x was ok.

$ rvm rake bench:file FILE=benchmarks/macro-benchmarks/bm_list.rb

Can you help me? Thanks =)

Thanks Stephen!

It concerns me that so many people are betting the farm on this technology when they really don't have a good idea of what it really is. it's certainly useful in certain cases, but it's not a silver bullet.

I am admittedly biased on this subject (if you work in IT today, who isn't?), but I think you hit the nail on the head with this one!

Also don't forget that you can run the rake command against all installed rubies at the same time via 'rvm rake' :

rvm rake bench:file FILE=benchmarks/macro-benchmarks/bm_hilbert_matrix.rb

See http://rvm.beginrescueend.c... for mor information.
