I am very new to Linux (been living in MS world for many years). I thought I'd try something different, like ruby on rails under linux. Been trying to get a dev machine set up, and I must say, it's been quite overwhelming! Here is what I have done so far, and my current problem that I cannot figure out:
Installed Linux Mint 15 (was this a bad choice? the only reason I ask is all the difficulties I've had so far)
Ran the update manager and installed all updates.
Install git
sudo apt-get install git
Install rbenv
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
Install ruby-build as a rbenv plugin
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
Install opensssl (the ruby install fails if I don't do this)
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Install ruby
rbenv install 2.0.0-p247
Set my ruby version
rbenv global 2.0.0-p247
Install rails
gem install rails
This fails with
Fetching: i18n-0.6.5.gem (100%) Successfully installed i18n-0.6.5 ERROR: While executing gem ... (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A: wrong version number
So apparently, there's still something not quite right with the ssl lib? Either that or I've taken a wrong step somewhere? Please help, thanks!
