Troubles with ruby-2.X installation using RVM

Question

I recently came across of the ruby-2.0.0-p0 installation. After the successfully installation of the rvm i type the following command at the bash.

rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p0

This this the result log.

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: debian/wheezy_sid/i386/ruby-2.0.0-p0.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Note that the process goes without troubles until the installation of ruby gems. What's going on here ??

Any help appreciated.

RubyGems 2.0.0 installed

Second comment output And the other command

rvm use --default 2.0.0

RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.

You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for a example.

Answer 1

Try the following

$ rvm remove 2.0.0 # get rid of unsuccessful installation
$ rvm get head --autolibs=3 # get the latest RVM and build required libs
$ rvm requirements # just in case, install all other required stuff
$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0

If at any of those commands fails at any point. Update your question with the logs.

Answer 2

I had this exact same problem. The solution was elegant and simple.

Just update your gems direct from the command line:

sudo gem update --system

That's it! Terminal will now show:
