rvm install: ruby installation error

Question

I want to install ruby on my Linux Mint 12.

I am following this tutorial and this one.

when I run rvm install 1.9.3 I see this error:

Answer 1

If you cat /usr/share/ruby-rvm/archives/ruby-1.9.3-.tar.bz2 you will see

404 Not Found

---

nginx/1.2.1

So, rvm doesn't know where to find ruby-1.9.3 (it seems the path is mangled around '3-.tar')

And, 1.9.1 "compatibility" with 1.9.3 is a (not so funny) joke in Ubuntu.

The fix for me was:

rvm package install openssl

rvm install ruby-1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/share/ruby-rvm/usr

As 1.9.2 happened matched all of my gem dependencies (e.g. nokogiri)
