Ruby 1.9.3, RVM, readline won't install/compile

I am running into the following error. I was using RVM with Ruby 1.9.2 and all worked perfect. I updated to ruby version 1.9.3 und now I am getting an load error when I try to use the irb.

/home/pabera/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in 
`require': cannot load such file -- active_support (LoadError)

Actually I have all the readline packages installed (it worked fine with 1.9.2)

Now I tried several thinks, using rvm pkg readline. Doing this, I get the following output.

$ rvm pkg install readline
Fetching readline-5.2.tar.gz to /home/pabera/.rvm/archives
Extracting readline-5.2.tar.gz to /home/pabera/.rvm/src

I get the error in the middle, and I don't know how to fix it

Error running 'autoreconf -is --force', please read /home/pabera/.rvm/log/readline/autoreconf.log

My Autoconf.log output. Might this autoconf problem cause my issues? And yes, how would I fix thos missing templates then?

$ cat /home/pabera/.rvm/log/readline/autoreconf.log
[2012-03-19 10:07:03] autoreconf -is --force
autoheader: warning: missing template: CTYPE_NON_ASCII

autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_BSD_SIGNALS
autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_GETPW_DECLS
...
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1

Do you have any suggestions?

Looks like you might forgot to use a ruby:

rvm use 1.9.3 --default

The default flag will tell rvm to use it for new terminals.

For using with projects (like rails):

cd projects/my-app
rvm use 1.9.3@my-app --rvmrc --create

Which will create a gemset my-app and project configuration file .rvmrc - now when you cd to that dir RVM wil swithc to that ruby@gemset.

There is very nice screencast showing basics of rvm usage: http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm
