Aborting the installation. coder@Qalqi:~$ su rvm install ruby-1.9.2 I attached with this message, make.log and make.error.log files Please help me.

Did you check the result of $ rvm requirements and do "exactly" what is proposed there ? The tutorial you refer to says to install rails --version 3.0 .   gem install rails --version 3.0.0 That is already quite passé. Just do `gem install rails` there and let the system choose. Also where you see `ruby 1.9.2` , just make ruby `1.9.3` from that ... FWIW, I wrote down my installation on Ubuntu recently, might help ? [http://rails.vandenabeele.com/blog/2011/11/26/installing-ruby-and-rails-with-rvm-on-ubuntu-11-dot-10/](http://rails.vandenabeele.com/blog/2011/11/26/installing-ruby-and-rails-with-rvm-on-ubuntu-11-dot-10/) And there is the rvmsh project that I have tested a few times recently on Ubuntu.   [https://github.com/dunsmoreb/rvmsh](https://github.com/dunsmoreb/rvmsh) HTH, Peter > **···** > > On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 7:24 PM, Kamal Reddy \ wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I am relatively new to Ruby and I have installation issues.

I get this error for that command.What to do? fail: Unrecognized command line argument: 'requirements' ( see: 'rvm usage' ) > The tutorial you refer to says to install rails --version 3.0 . >   gem install rails --version 3.0.0 > > That is already quite passé. I am yet a beginner and was learning from a tutorial where the code was written in rails 3.0.0 so, instead of having compatibility issues and avoid confusion at beginner level, I did so. This is the tutorial I was referring to. > **[Ruby on Rails Tutorial](https://www.railstutorial.org/book)** > > Newly updated for Rails 7, the Ruby on Rails Tutorial book and screencast series teach you how to develop and deploy real, industrial-strength web applications with Ruby on Rails, the open-source web framework that powers top websites such as GitHub,... > Just do `gem install rails` there and let the system choose. > > Also where you see `ruby 1.9.2` , just make ruby `1.9.3` > from that ... > > FWIW, I wrote down my installation on Ubuntu recently, might help ?
