Answer 1

I've googled for a couple days, but no answers helps me, so my solution was:

Fully remove rvm How to remove rvm

Remove all ruby packages. First, find out which packages do you have:

dpkg -l | grep ruby

then make

sudo apt-get purge {PACKAGE}

where {PACKAGE} is package you want to remove ( for me there were ruby ruby1.8 ruby1.9.1 )

Then I made fresh installation of RVM Install RVM and installed ruby 1.9.2 with

rvm install 1.9.2

Now it should work!
