How do I install a specific version of Ruby on Linux?

Use the secure installation method. Read the installation instructions — you probably want the single-user configuration. Use rvm list known to list available Rubies and then run rvm install x.x.x to install a specific version. Use rvm use x.x.x --default to change your default Ruby.

Try installing the libtool package. I had the same issue and that fixed it. If you're in Ubuntu then it's probably:

sudo apt-get install libtool
