Also, FYI but the FAQ link in “Please Read Before Posting” is a:

The file you were looking for could not be found.

It’s telling you there’s no disk space to do the install. Time to clean
up old junk files laying around…

That’s what the error message is saying. Are you really trying to
install Ruby under /home?? That’s somewhat atypical…

The following:

User@User-laptop:~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p243$ sudo make install
./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb
./instruby.rb --make=“make” --dest-dir="" --extout=".ext" --mflags=""
–make-flags="" --data-mode=0644 --prog-mode=0755 --installed-list
.installed.list --mantype=“doc”

…leads me to suspect it’s going under /usr somewhere.

All fixed, nevermind. Somehow this computer had 7mb partition for
/usr/local. Don’t ask.

Much appreciated!

Next time… use command ‘df’, with options, it’s a much better
description of what’s going on…
