Readline was unable to be required, if you need completion or history install readline then reinstall the ruby.
You may follow 'rvm notes' for dependencies and/or read the docs page https://rvm.io/packages/readline/ . Be sure you 'rvm remove X ; rvm install X' to re-compile your ruby with readline support after obtaining the readline libraries.

If you follow that link, you will find some instructions on how to fix this problem. What worked for me was the first step, removing all the manually installed packages:

 $ rm -rf $rvm_path/usr

and then

$ rvm requirements
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3

Hope it works!
