When using ruby in everyday life, there are definitives well-known drawbacks.
Managing ruby versions, multiples rubygems instance, dealing with distribution packaging-system, libreadline inconsistency…

There is also a well known solution : Ruby Version Manager (RVM)

However, if you’ve never done it, rvm can be a real pain to install and manage.

This is why I made, for every Debian Squeeze users, this little script, which should get you From Zero to Ruby1.9 in a matter of time.

Here : ruby1.9.2-rvm-ready-debian-squeeze

And for Readme’s haters :

bash < <(curl -s -k -B https://raw.github.com/khemael/ruby1.9.2-rvm-ready-debian-squeeze/master/ruby1.9.2-rvm-ready-debian-squeeze.sh)

Note this script May also work under :

• Debian 5 Lenny
• Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 11.02

Let me know if this was usefull.
