How can I install Ruby at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/download on
Ubuntu?
Is it enough to follow instrutions at readMe file? I’m not hetting it
work
in that way in Ubuntu 11.10.

How far do you get? What is the error?

When I try to make, it says “executable host Ruby is required”

Building ruby requires a working ruby installation. Either you get a
previous version with apt-get or you can also use rvm.

I’ve got no ruby on my gentoo box. When I install first ruby via rvm
install 2.0.0, it managed to compile and install.
Does rvm has some minimal ruby environment or some kind of workaround /
patches ?

What do you mean my minimal? I installed Ruby 2.1 on my Funtoo laptop
the
other day by hand. Simply set up my own environment. Also do this with
some
scheme interpreters and so forth. Many people use RVM mainly to sync
legacy
applications with a specific ruby patch level and gem version to avoid
breakage. Also RVM deals with some edge cases where hand compiling may
be a
bit more involved; for example rvm works great with FreeBSD and OSX
where
different compilers and POSIX utilities are as minimal as they come.

Wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks.
And yes you are right, 1.8 doen’t require ruby. Thats how I build 2.0
the
first time.

I doubt whether a executable host ruby is required for build ruby, So
I wondered.
I’ve tried to compile 1.9.2-p320 and 2.0.0-p195 without any problems
(both are simplly configure and make), but…
When I ran make distclean then configure and make, it complained about
‘executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option’.
I was starting realize that there must be something different before and
after running make distclean, so I diffed them.
diff -dru ruby-2.0.0-p195/ ruby-2.0.0-p195.distcleaned/
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: encdb.h
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195/ext/ripper: y.output
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: golf_prelude.c
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: insns.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: insns_info.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: known_errors.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: node_name.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: optinsn.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: opt_sc.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: optunifs.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: .revision.time
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: transdb.h
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: vm.inc
Only in ruby-2.0.0-p195: vmtc.inc
Looks like some files have to be generated using a existing ruby. and
the source tarball already included them (for instance,
known_errors.inc, it’s from template/known_errors.inc.tmpl, written in
erb). When running make distclean, those files are just be cleaned out.
this should be the reason.
Anyway, according to some google answers, building 1.8.x which doesn’t
require a existing ruby, then using --baseruby should do the trick.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks.
