Hi Folks,  
Nowdays I program ruby from windows to suse-linux 10.1, when I  
compile the ruby source code and make && make install and then install  
rails , I can’t start a console. It reports me an error(and this occurs  
both in ruby 1.8.5 and ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36)) :

I can’t find a readline.rb in my system. Well, is it a ruby bug and  
anybody have ideas on solving this problem ?

```
 Regards.

                                                                                Tim
