Victor needs help installing Rubygems on ubuntu 6.06

[Victor Soich]

Hi all,

I just successfully installed and compiled from source Ruby on ubuntu
6.06 Yay! When I type

ruby --version at the command line I get:


***@tiberius:~$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux]
***@tiberius:~$

so, I think I did everything properly. I am able to start irb sessions!!


Anyways, I have my ruby 1.8.6 files in

/home/vsoich/ruby-1.8.6



I have the file rubygems-0.9.2.tgz located in

/home/vsoich



In /home/vsoich I executed the commanded

tar -xzvf rubygems-0.9.2.tgz


and everything seem to work fine.
Then I switched to

/home/vsoich/rubygems-0.9.2



and executed the command

sudo ruby setup.rb

and things didn't go so well. I expected to get the response
Successfully built RubyGem

but instead got the following extensive output:


***@tiberius:~/rubygems-0.9.2$ sudo ruby setup.rb

I don't know what the above output means.
When I type gem -v at the command line I get:

Pleas help me get RubyGem to work. I then want to get Rails working.

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:21

protocol.rb is requiring 'socket'. Usually you'll have a file socket.so
under /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/[host-arch]

where [host-arch] is a directory name for your system architecture, eg:
i368-linux or x86_64-linux

You say you installed ruby in /home/vsoich/ruby-1.8.6, so, perhaps the
socket.so shared lib got placed relative to there instead of in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/. You may need to add a directory to
environment variable RUBYLIB to let ruby find your local ruby libraries.

Victor,

This is how I install it on Ubuntu or Debian:

sudo apt-get install \
build-essential libreadline5-dev libssl-dev \
mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev \

cd /usr/local/src

curl -O ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz
tar xvzf ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.8.6
./configure --enable-pthread
make
sudo make install
cd ..

curl -O http://files.rubyforge.mmmultiworks.com/rubygems/
rubygems-0.9.2.tgz
tar xzvf rubygems-0.9.2.tgz
cd rubygems-0.9.2
sudo ruby setup.rb
cd ..
