why i can't find my ruby ?

[Pen Ttt]

i installed ruby this way:
sudo wget ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
cd /home/pt/ruby-1.9.2-p0
sudo ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/ruby
sudo make && make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem
sudo gedit /etc/environment

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/ruby/bin"
when i restart,
pt@pt:~$ ruby -v
The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install ruby

could you mind to tell me how to resolve it?

First you have to check whether the compilation & installation process
did succeeded.
Second the target prefix for configure script has two hyphens before so
it has to look like:
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby
Third what is an output of <code>ls -l /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby</code> ?

i installed ruby this way:
sudo wget ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
cd /home/pt/ruby-1.9.2-p0
sudo ./configure -prefix=3D/usr/local/ruby
sudo make && make install

First off you seem to be using sudo when it normally isn't used and
not with it is.

Normally do all of the steps up to and including make as a normal user
and then do

sudo make install

and only if you are installing to a place which requires root
privileges. Using sudo unnecessarily is dangerous since you really
don't know what those commands might do particularly the make

sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem

This is wrong, you are making /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby point to the
system installed ruby and the same thing for the gem executable. I'm
not sure why you did this. If the make install worked it should have
made ruby and gem accessible via /usr/loca/bin, probably via symlinks.
And since you are setting the PATH environment variable to put
/usr/local/bin ahead of /usr/bin the shell should find your installed
ruby.

I suspect that what happened is that the make install failed because
you didn't run it under sudo.


That all said, if it were me I'd install ruby using RVM

sudo gedit /etc/environment

PATH=3D"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr= /games:/usr/local/ruby/bin"
when i restart,
pt@pt:~$ ruby -v

That's untrue. ln -s is
ln -s <link-target> <where-to-install-the-link>

And in any case, the OP didn't have a system ruby anyway.

I would start with typing

/usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby -v

Does that work? If so, you want /usr/local/ruby/bin on your $PATH

If not, look at the configure and make output to see what went wrong.

Yes, that takes care of all this stuff and more.

thinks everyone.this right way is :
sudo wget ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
cd /home/pt/ruby-1.9.2-p0
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem
sudo gedit /etc/environment

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/ruby/bin"

PATH=3D"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/=
games:/usr/local/ruby/bin"

Again, don't blindly use sudo!

This should work just as well, and safer too:

cd
wget ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
tar jxvf ruby-1.9.2-p0.tar.bz2
cd ruby-1.9.2-p0
/configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/ruby && make && sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem

and since you're making symbolic links to a directory that is already in =
your PATH, you don't need to edit your PATH in /etc/environment.

you only created a link for ruby & gem.
you need to create a link for irb too.

You may try these 3 commands and report the result:

$ which ruby
$ ls -l `which ruby`
$ ls -l `which ruby | sed -e 's/ruby//'` | grep irb

In my case, the result is:

$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
$ ls -l `which ruby`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2010-05-10 14:47 /usr/bin/ruby ->
/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.01/bin/ruby
$ ls -l `which ruby | sed -e 's/ruby//'` | grep irb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 2010-05-10 14:48 irb ->
/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2010.01/bin/irb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 376 2010-03-19 18:45 irb1.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2010-03-31 17:00 irb-ORIG -> irb1.8


What it does is:

* use 'which' to find where you have ruby installed
* list the details about ruby (e.g. a symlink)
* search that same directory for the 'irb' command

That may give a hint where your ruby and irb are installed.

HTH,

Peter

pt@pt:~$ which =C2=A0ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
pt@pt:~$ ls -l =C2=A0 `which ruby`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2010-11-29 16:00 /usr/bin/ruby ->
/usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby
pt@pt:~$ ls -l `which ruby | sed -e 's/ruby//'` | grep irb
pt@pt:~$

there is nothing =C2=A0for the last command
ls -l `which ruby | sed -e 's/ruby//'` | grep irb

(caveat, not actually tried, from memory).

So now try:

$ cd /usr/bin
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/ruby/bin/irb irb

After that, the command:

$ ls -l `which ruby | sed -e 's/ruby//'` | grep irb

should show the symlink as on my computer.

and

$ which irb

should work.

You could also add to your .bashrc a line like:

PATH=3D/usr/local/ruby/bin:"${PATH}"

this wlll make all those command in /usr/local/ruby/bin available

HTH,

Peter

cd ruby-1.9.2-p0

Then ruby isn't in your $PATH.

Have you tried your distribution's packages?
