Troubles with ruby-2.X installation using RVM

Question

I recently came across of the ruby-2.0.0-p0 installation. After the successfully installation of the rvm i type the following command at the bash.

rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p0

This this the result log.

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: debian/wheezy_sid/i386/ruby-2.0.0-p0.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Note that the process goes without troubles until the installation of ruby gems. What's going on here ??

Any help appreciated.

RubyGems 2.0.0 installed

Second comment output And the other command

rvm use --default 2.0.0

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for a example.

Answer 1

Open Up the Terminal and then Go to Edit > Profile Preferences and then go to the Tab "Title and Command" and Check "Run Command as Login Shell".

Boot Up a Bash and Now you can install Gems directly from the terminal without the use of sudo and the error "RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work." will be eliminated.

Cheers.

Answer 2

I had this exact same problem. The solution was elegant and simple.

Just update your gems direct from the command line:

sudo gem update --system

That's it! Terminal will now show:

Updating RubyGems
Updating rubygems-update
Successfully installed rubygems-update-2.0.3
Updating RubyGems to 2.0.3
Installing RubyGems 2.0.3
RubyGems 2.0.3 installed

Answer 3

I had this exact same problem, same error message, etc. I don't know about you, but I use MacPorts, and through that I have libraries like OpenSSL installed, which I think may have contributed to my trouble.

I just got it working on my system; I'm not sure exactly what I did right but here are the steps I took:

1. Set up my ~/.rvmrc to match the first code block here.
2. Uninstalled 2.0.0 through rvm (rvm remove 2.0.0).
3. Removed the folders for ruby-2.0.0, rubygems-2.0.0 and the dependency packages like OpenSSL and YAML in ~/.rvm/src.
4. Executed rvm install 2.0.0 --with-opt-dir=/opt/local --autolibs=0. /opt/local is my MacPorts prefix directory, and autolibs=0 disables any dependency installation so it didn't have the opportunity to use something other than my MacPorts libraries. If you get through this step without red console output you're past the errors you were having above.
5. Not knowing if having an empty default gemset was the problem I also ran rvm use --create 2.0.0@... to get a non-default gemset created and then (successfully) installed a gem and its dependencies into it.

I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Try the following

$ rvm remove 2.0.0 # get rid of unsuccessful installation
$ rvm get head --autolibs=3 # get the latest RVM and build required libs
$ rvm requirements # just in case, install all other required stuff
$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0

If at any of those commands fails at any point. Update your question with the logs.
