trouble reinstalling ruby - ruby-on-rails

I had to uninstall then reinstall ruby.
When I went to install it the installation went off without a hitch except for a strange error:
ERROR: Error running 'bunzip2 '/home/tom/.rvm/archives/ruby-1.9.2-p180.tar.bz2'', please read /home/tom/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p180/extract.log
Now when I go to install rails it alerts me that I'm...
Missing RVM environment file: '/home/tom/.rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.2-p180#rails3tutorial'
I need to uninstall ruby, install zlib via rvm install package zlib, then install ruby 1.9.2.
Can anyone give me a walk through. I'm completely new and utterly confused. I've searched the web but can't find a walk through that works.

run rm -rf /home/tom/.rvm/ That will delete RVM and all installed packages. Reinstall RVM using the instructions from this page https://rvm.io

Uninstall Ruby, rbenv and homebrew and reinstall Ruby on Rails with RVM on MAC

I'm very new to RoR specially on Mac. I have installed it many times on Ubuntu with RVM and I'm very comfortable with that. Here is what happened on Mac:
I went through instructions as explained here http://goo.gl/zsHcCC then when I got to the point to install Rails with " gem install rails " I got this error:
Error installing rails:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Now I want to roll-back everything and uninstall rbenv and it's ruby versions and reinstall the Ruby On Rails environment using RVM.
I tried to find how to uninstall Homebrew, RBENV and Ruby, but no success.
Thank you.
Sia
Homebrew or Rbenv are very good tools to have as a dev, I would think twice before removing either.
In this case I doubt they are at fault.
Can you confirm you have installed the GCC command line utils for OSX by running $ xcode-select --install in your terminal.
Here is a useful post explaining that process but I find that command generally works fine for me.
If this succeeds what does your $ gem install rails output next?
If you are very new you and you don't need specially the last version of Ruby. You can use Rails Installer http://railsinstaller.org/fr-FR.

I can't install rails on OSX 10.7.5

Whenever I run
sudo gem install rails
I get the following output:
ERROR: Loading command: install (LoadError)
cannot load such file -- openssl
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `invoke_with_build_args' for nil:NilClass
RVM version: rvm 1.18.14
and Ruby is 2.0.0p0
you need to reinstall your rubies:
rvm get head --autolibs=3
rvm pkg remove
rvm reinstall all --force
the new autolibs supporrt will take care of updating dependencies and including them in ruby
Do you have Homebrew installed on your system? If so, try
brew install openssl
in the command line.
hmm, you have rvm but why you need sudo?I thought rvm is in sandbox mode . Anyway, the error just means it can't find ssl path. First, make sure you have openssl installed. If not then you need to install it(brew, macport etc) or rvm pkg install openssl and let rvm manage its path(you have rvm already). After that, you will need to reinstall ruby. RVM guide is here
You don't use sudo. sudo is ONLY used for doing a multi-user install, and only then during the initial installation, and adding your user to the rvm group (if the installer did not do it for you which usually indicates you did the install wrong in the first place)
I figured it out!
So First I removed everything to do with RVM as suggested in some of the answers. Rebooted. Installed the latest Version of Xcode and the command line tools from Xcode (Xcode-prefereces-downloads). Then rebooted again, and finally used RailsInstaller. Once I used that rails was back on and all is good in the world. Thanks for the help everyone.

Installing libyaml Cygwin

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/yaml.rb:56:in `':
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.
I've downloaded libyaml and ran ./configure, make and make install. They all seem to run successfully.
I'm using rvm and I'm not sure how to uninstall ruby in order to reinstall it. I've tried just running rvm install 1.9.3 and I've also tried rvm remove 1.9.3 and then running rvm install 1.9.3
Anyway, nothing is working. I'm still a noob when it comes to programming so apologies if I'm not making sense.
check out Issue/Bug 5560 sounds very similar

Installing Gems under RVM Error

I just purchased my first Mac, a 13" Air with Lion, and am coming from Linux. I'm installed RVM and my first Ruby (1.8.6), but I can't get a gem to install. Here's the input:
Ryan's Air :sudo gem install rails --version 2.0.2
Password:********
and the result:
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.6-p420/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:59: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2010-09-02) [i686-darwin11.2.0]
Ryan's Air :
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Ryan
The issue is with Lion, and I've encountered this myself on now 2 brand-new 13-inch MBP's.
What you need to do is install the OSX GCC Compilers separately.
They can be found here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer (scroll down to downloading pre-build binaries)
After downloading and running through the package installer (you should not need to install Homebrew), you need to find where the GCC folder is located. For some people, it was in /usr/bin; however, for me I found it in /Developer/usr/bin
Add this directory to your $PATH variable in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file. For me, I'm using ~/.bash_profile and added it to the end using vim.
Close your Terminal and open it again, and then echo $PATH to make sure the changes saved.
Completely uninstall that version of ruby, and install again normally:
rvm install 1.8.7
rvm use 1.8.7
If it still doesn't work, I recommend installing your version of rails using the following command as Hans specified in Why can't I install Rails on Lion using RVM?:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.8.7 --force
the CC directory would change based on where your install was. However, after adding the correct path to gcc to my $PATH variable, I did not need to do the above command.
If you were still having this problem, hope this helps.
Look at this article. It seems that you get deadlocks with your combination of old rails, sqlite and Webrick. Michael is right, try to use modern version of rails.
rvm install 1.8.7-head
This worked for me, everything else failed. I did not install the gcc specifically, just clean Xcode 4.2

no such file to load -- readline

I am getting the following error:
$script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.2)
/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080709/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)
Where can i get the file and what directory should it go in?
Thanks!
The readline module is normally part of the Ruby package itself.
Did you manually build your Ruby install? If so, you want to make sure libreadline and its headers are installed, and build again.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install libreadline-dev
Or on RHEL/CentOS, try
yum install readline-devel
Update:
You are using a very old release of Ubuntu. If you want to keep using it, open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor, and change all occurrences of archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com. Then, run apt-get update and try the above again.
I urge you to consider updating your installation, though. Ubuntu 7.10 hasn't seen security updates in quite a while, and using it in production is not recommended. Even if it's not a production machine, there's a good chance you'll run into further problems because of old versions of certain libraries/dependencies.
You need to install the ncurses and readline libraries.
On Ubunutu you could do
sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev
and then you will have to recompile readline which comes with your ruby source
cd <ruby-src-dir>/ext/readline
ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install
If you are using RVM you could simply do
rvm package install readline
EDIT:
On newer RVM versions, this last command is
rvm pkg install readline
Add the following line to your Gemfile and run bundle update
gem 'rb-readline'
credits to similar question/answer at install ruby 1.9.3 using rvm on ubuntu
This easiest way to get relief from this problem,
just add to your Gemfile:
gem 'rb-readline'
And then run bundle install
Run the command
rvm requirements
It shows the requirements and dependencies. Install those and reinstall the ruby on rvm
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2
It works!
EDIT
If you can't find the requirements option update your rvm.
rvm update --head # older rvm
or use rvm upgrade
Maybe this is a bullshit answer, but I ran into this problem today after upgrading postgres from 9.5.3 to 9.6, along with which homebrew upgraded readline from 6.something to 7. I ended up rolling back my postgres to 9.5.3 and that resolved the issue.
