Symbol look up errors

Rails
1

the rake one occured after jolicloud updated, the ruby one cuz I messed
up the ls -s command

the errors:

bash: /usr/bin/rake: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory

I’m running ruby1.9.2

ruby: symbol lookup error:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i686-linux/enc/encdb.so: undefined symbol:
rb_enc_set_base

help?

thanks,
Andrew

What did you update?

Huh?

the errors:

bash: /usr/bin/rake: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory

I’m running ruby1.9.2

Looks like Rake is pointing to the wrong Ruby. You might need to
reinstall Rake; RVM might also be useful to manage different Rubies.

ruby: symbol lookup error:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i686-linux/enc/encdb.so: undefined symbol:
rb_enc_set_base

Are you running Ruby 1.9.2 or 1.9.1? Sure looks like 1.9.1…

help?

thanks,

one more thing
the ruby error happened after I tried to
ln -s ruby to another directory and failed.
I’m wondering how I reset a symbolic link?

figured it out
unlink ruby

but still getting the same symbol look up error
tried rm -r 1.9.1
and then reinstalling.
I might add that 1.9.2
make install
creates a 1.9.1 directory.

jolicloud = linux based os

just did an install of ruby1.9.2, but the error
appears to point to 1.9.1

the ruby error occured after I tried to change the symbolic link to ruby
to fix rake.

apparently the rake that comes with 1.9.2 is buggy, so had to downgrade
to 1.9.1 and then delete the rake gemspecs in specifications then
re-install rake. appears to be working fine now.
