Rails - Feb 2011 - rvm install 1.8.7 prompts "There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation."

I want to work with both Rails 2 and Rails 3 projects.

I have RVM installed.

When I upgraded to Rails 3, Installed RVM via terminal:

bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/ … ll-latest)

version=$(curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/ … sion.txt);

mkdir -p ~/.rvm/src/ && cd ~/.rvm/src/ && curl -O
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/ … on}.tar.gz | tar zxf - && cd
rvm-${version} && ./install

I updated the .bash_profile and added the below line of text:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && .
"$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Then I type:

rvm install 1.9.2

it did some stuff and then suddenly aborted:

Error running ''make '', please read
/Users/jmerlino/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p136/make.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

Then I did the following:
$ rvm package install readline
$ rvm remove 1.9.2
$ rvm install 1.9.2 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr

$ cd $HOME/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p0/ext/readline
$ ruby extconf.rb
$ make install

So I finally got Rails 3 working.

Now I want to get Rails 2 working as well. So I follow this link:

http://matthew.mceachen.us/blog/switchi … m-966.html

But when I run:

rvm install 1.8.7

I get:

Should I try rvm remove 1.8.7 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr   ?

Towards bottom it says this:

readline.c: In function ‘username_completion_proc_call’:
readline.c:730: error: ‘username_completion_function’ undeclared (first 
use in this function)
readline.c:730: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Well it''s clearly a readline based problem - did you try passing --
with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr  as you did when building 1.9.2 ?

Yes, that worked.



So now I can switch between rvm versions:

MacBook-Pro:~ jmerlino$ rvm use 1.8.7
Using /Users/jmerlino/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p330
MacBook-Pro:~ jmerlino$ rvm use 1.9.2
Using /Users/jmerlino/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136

However, I try to create rails 2 project and got an uninviting error:

MacBook-Pro:~ jmerlino$ rails _2.3.5_ myproject
/Users/jmerlino/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:762:in 
`report_activate_error'': RubyGem version error: rails(3.0.3 not =
2.3.5)
(Gem::LoadError)
    from 
/Users/jmerlino/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:219:in 
`activate''
    from 
/Users/jmerlino/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1065:in 
`gem''
    from /Users/jmerlino/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/rails:18:in 
`<main>''

Do I need to do something to Rails as well?

Thanks for response.

That sounds like you don''t have 2.3.5 installed for that ruby. Also
I''m not sure how well rails 2.3.5 works with ruby 1.9

Even when I switch to ruby 1.8.7, still it says I don''t have 2.3.5 
installed:

MacBook-Pro:bin jmerlino$ rvm use 1.8.7
Using /Users/jmerlino/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p330
MacBook-Pro:bin jmerlino$ rails _2.3.5_ myproject
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:777:in `report_activate_error'':
Could
not find RubyGem rails (= 2.3.5) (Gem::LoadError)
  from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:211:in `activate''
  from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:1056:in `gem''
  from /usr/bin/rails:19

So here''s my confusion. I have both rvm 1.8.7 and 1.9.2. Do I type from
the command line the following:

rvm use 1.8.7
gem install -v=2.3.5 rails

Will it install the rails gem in the right place if I type that above?

Thanks for response.
