not able to install rails3 on rvm

When trying to install rails3 using rvm, I get following error.

$ gem install rails
/data/home/manish/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb:28:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant Gem::ConfigFile (NameError)

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04.

In the RVM install script output, it indicates which Ubuntu packages are required. For example, on my system it had:

build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev

Installing those with apt-get, 'rvm implode', and re-running 'rvm install 1.9.2' fixed the problem.

Do

rvm rubygems remove

Which will then say:

Removing old Rubygems files...

Installing rubygems dedicated to ruby-1.9.2-p180...

After which the gem command worked.

Edit: Nevermind, seems there's more to it.

I had precisely the same error message when upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 and found that I'd installed rvm whilst missing a few essential libraries.

I know that you aren't using the same flavour of Linux as me; the following worked for me and you may be able to find an equivalent:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby-full bison openssl libreadline5 libreadline5-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libmysqlclient-dev libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev #install the missing libraries

$ rm -r ~/.rvm* # destroy the old rvm installation

$ bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm) # install rvm again

$ rvm install 1.9.2
