I am new to Ruby on Rails, and am using RVM to manage Ruby versions.
My laptop has Ruby1.8.7 installed, but my project is using RVM, Ruby1.9.3 and Rails 3.2.11.
I can't run rails c
or rails console
without it giving me the following error:
/home/phil/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p392/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/completion.rb:9:in `require': cannot load such file -- readline (LoadError)

You need to have the readline libraries installed when you compile Ruby.
If you are on CentOS/Redhat/Fedora Linux, install the package using:
sudo yum install readline-devel
Or, on Ubuntu, use:
sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
and then recompile Ruby.
