Dear list,
I need to install Ruby on Rails without administrative privileges. I
figured I could install ruby and have ''make install'' write its
output
to a defined folder, but this doesn''t give me a working ruby. Help is
welcome. Here''s how I proceeded:
download and untar ruby-1.8.5-p2.tar.gz
./configure
--prefix=/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby
--exec-prefix=/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux
make
make install
PATH=$PATH:/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/lib:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/lib/ruby:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/share:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/share/man:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/share/man/man1:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/bin:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/lib:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/lib/ruby:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/lib/ruby/1.8:
/mypath/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/
Still, when trying to install rubygems or even running "IRB", it
won''t
find its .rb files (error message below):
/users/sista/bioiuser/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/bin/irb:10:in
`require'': no such file to load -- irb (LoadError)
from /users/sista/bioiuser/rubyonrails/ruby/x86_64-linux/bin/
irb:10
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Steven

I''ve done this before, and my steps looked identical to yours except I did not include the --exec-prefix when executing configure. I did ./ configure --prefix=$HOME; make; make install. Hope that helps.

i try to install ruby-1.8.6 in linux
cd /share/apps/ruby-1.8.6
./configure --prefix=`pwd`;make;make install
i include /share/apps/ruby-1.8.6/bin in my $PATH
but when i invoke irb, i encountered error
/share/apps/ruby-1.8.6/bin/irb:10:in `require'': no such file to load
-- irb (LoadError)
from /share/apps/ruby-1.8.6/bin/irb:10
what might be wrong?
Eric.
