Older Ruby Install issues

Hi all,

Sorry if I’m not posting this in the right place. The issue I am having
is I am trying to follow as Railcast
(#225 Upgrading to Rails 3 Part 1 - RailsCasts) where a
Rails2 project is updated to Rails3. My issue right now is that I am
trying to install an older version of Ruby and keep getting errors. When
I try “rvm install 1.8.6” I get lots of errors. When I do the same for
1.8.7 I get fewer errors but still Ruby doesn’t install.

I think my issue is that I started out with Rails3 with Ruby 1.9.3 and
it doesn’t like that I am trying to install an older version. Just
wondering if anybody has an suggestions on how I can install these older
versions of Ruby. Thanks,

-S

I’d suggest you ask this on the rvm mailing list or IRC channel; and
it would probably help to post the errors, as well as the OS you’re
using. Just because not everyone is a mind-reader.

Alternatively, try to build from source.
