I need to get a custom install of Ruby to work quickly on Redhat linux.
I don’t have sudo so I need to get this to work under my home dir.
Compiling went fine and basic ruby runs.
Ruby is installed at: /home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3
Here is how I tried to configure Ruby specific env variables to
make this work:
[skrot@mldev5 drstuff]$ env |grep -i ru
PATH=/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3:/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/skrot/bin
RUBYLIB=/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3:/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/lib:/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/ext
The ruby binary seems to work:
[skrot@mldev5 drstuff]$ ruby --version
ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-linux]
This is obviously insufficient. My ruby based program dies as well as
the ‘gem’ program
[skrot@mldev5 drstuff]$ ./ruby-dependent-program
/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/lib/rubygems.rb:9:in require': cannot load such file -- thread (LoadError) from /home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/lib/rubygems.rb:9:in<top (required)>’
from internal:gem_prelude:1:in require' from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in’
[skrot@mldev5 drstuff]$ gem
/home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/lib/rubygems.rb:9:in require': cannot load such file -- thread (LoadError) from /home/skrot/ruby-2.2.3/lib/rubygems.rb:9:in<top (required)>’
from internal:gem_prelude:1:in require' from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in’
Is there a way I can fix this by making more environment variable
updates?
Or otherwise, is there a way I can get this version of Ruby to work in
an install within my home directory?
