Hi

Trying to install 1.9.2 using rvm. Works fine until it gets to
installing rubygems. I’ve tried installing various versions of rubygems
via rvm and always get the following error:

jason@appy:~$ rvm rubygems latest

Never had this problem before on ubuntu, but just installed 11.10.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks!

Ok - tried extracting the archive downloaded by rvm manually and gzip
says that it is not a valid archive. Weird that this happens on all the
ruby gems versions I tried.

Downloaded rubygems 1.8.10 and manually extracted it into .rvm/src. Then
ran rvm install 1.9.2 again and all seems to be good.

Still don’t understand the root cause, but i seem to be up and running
now.

Thanks for the reply!

cheers

What does rubygems.extract.log say exactly? The “gunzip<” error above is
weird …

“/home/jason/.rvm/src/rubygems-1.8.10/setup.rb”', please read
/home/jason/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p290/rubygems.install.log

Same here, what’s in rubygems.install.log ?

Please use pastie.org!

I gotta try rvm on 11.10 later.
