Rails console not working even after updates

I am trying to run rails console. I have tried everything suggested on SO. I have libreadline-6 installed. My ruby version is 2.1.1 and irb is 0.9.6.

/home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/irb/completion.rb:9:in `require': cannot load such file -- readline (LoadError)
from /home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/irb/completion.rb:9:in `<top (required)>'
from /home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:3:in `require'
from /home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:3:in `<top (required)>'
from /home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands.rb:51:in `require'
from /home/xamroc/.rbenv/versions/2.1.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands.rb:51:in `<top (required)>'
from bin/rails:4:in `require'
from bin/rails:4:in `<main>'

Any suggestions?

Also, I am using rbenv to manage my ruby versions.

You need to install libreadline and also the -dev package and then you need to recompile ruby. When your using rvm you should always run

rvm requirements

first and then download and compile ruby. If your using rvm then you can run 

rvm reinstall <version>

to do this.
