set up RVM with rails2 and rails3

1 - Installing RVM

$ sudo gem install rvm 
$ (rvm-install已过时)  

 

$ bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

Finally put this lines in your .bash_profile or .bashrc:

  if [[ -s $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm ]] ; then
          source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
  fi
Restart your terminal, Rvm should be working by now.

2 - Installing ruby inside your rvm

$ rvm install 1.8.7
Will install ruby 1.8.7

$ rvm install ruby-head 
Will install ruby 1.9.2 or newer.

3 - Setting up rvm to use your specific ruby version

$ rvm use 1.8.7 
To use just this time.

$ rvm use 1.8.7 --default 
To use always this version.

If you are using any other ruby replace the “1.8.7” for your version.

4 - Installing rails 2 and rails 3 RC inside different gemsets

firstly select a ruby version

$ rvm use 1.8.7
You can separate your rails versions inside gemsets:

Rails 2:

Create the gemset:

$ rvm gemset create rails2
Setting up rvm to use always this gemset:

$ rvm use 1.8.7@rails2 --default
Installing rails 2:

$gem install rails
#前面不能加sudo,否则就安装到系统默认的gemsets而未安装到rvm的gemsets

$rvm gem list
$gem list

Rails 3:

Create the gemset:

$ rvm gemset create rails3
Setting up rvm to use always this gemset:

$rvm use 1.8.7@rails3 --default
Installing rails 3:

$gem install rails --pre

 

5 - Switching between different rails versions

Switching back to your system Ruby
rvm system

Back to your Rails3.0 environment
rvm 1.9.2@rails3

Switching to rails 2:

$ rvm use 1.8.7@rails2
$ rails -v

Rails 2.3.5 
Switching to rails 3:

$ rvm use 1.8.7@rails3
$ rails -v
Rails 3.0.0.rc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rvm install ree

ERROR: There has been an error while trying to run the ree installer. Halting theinstallation.

 

 

 

 

 

Installed ruby 1.9.2 via RVM and getting the following error?   
no such file to load -- openssl

Try getting RVM to install the required openssl files. Unfortunately this means removing ruby and installing it again.
  
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl- dir =$HOME/.rvm /usr

But hey, it works.

rvm no such file to load readline

rvm package install readline
rvm remove 1.8.7-p330
rvm install 1.8.7-p330 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr

 

 

 

 

Problem

 

When you try to run the console rails c in a new Rails 3.0.3 application, and when you use rvm, you get the following error:

 

no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)

 

Solution

 

It’s quite like likely that the readline libraries are missing from your installation. To find out which ones go to the directory that the error is indicating (ie):

 

 

 

$cd /.rvm/src/ruby-1.8.7-p352/ext/readline
$ruby extconf.rb
$make
$sudo make install

 

 

 

If you get something like:
checking for readline/readline.h... no
checking for editline/readline.h... no

 

then you are probably missing the neccessary header files for readline.

1、so install them in your system:

 

sudo urpmi readline-dev (ie in Mandriva)

 

 

In Debian you will need to install libreadline5-dev and

libncurses5-dev (apt-get install).

 

 

When the package is installed successfully run the following again:

 

ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install

 

You should now be able to go back to your project and run rails c with no errors.

 

 

2、if apt-get error, you can install from src code

 

从网上下载安装包下来安装

http://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/readline5/libreadline5-dev_5.2-7_i386.deb

http://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ncurses/libncurses5-dev_5.7+20100313-5_i386.deb

 

 

3、下载 ruby-1.8.7-p352的软件包

找到 ruby-1.8.7-p352/ ext/readline  copy to /.rvm/src/ruby-1.8.7-p352/ext/readline

$ruby extconf.rb
$make
$sudo make install

 

 

4、安装ruby的版本和系统默认的ruby版本相同

rvm install 1.8.7-p72  --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
