Found the answer:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.9.1

Thanks! I was getting frustrated with trying to get “ruby -v” to work! “ruby1.9.1 -v” did the trick.

A question, why doesn’t this work for a ruby shell script? #!/usr/bin ruby1.9.1

for those who already installed ruby1.9.1 yet is getting an error “ruby command not found”, try typing ruby1.9.1 instead of ruby

example:

$ ruby1.9.1 -v

Hi Ben,
Are you sure you have the right versions? anyway try to run rails 3 on Ruby 1.9 it’s still beta but for sure it’s more compatible than this one.
http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2010/2/5/rails-3-0-beta-release
good luck.

My problem is similar to Javix’s.

After I typed ’sudo make && sudo make install’ and I got at the very end the error:

gcc -O2 -g -Wall -Wno-parentheses -I. -I.ext/include/x86_64-linux -I./include -I. -DRUBY_EXPORT -o cont.o -c cont.c
cont.c:90:6: error: #elif with no expression
cont.c:270:6: error: #elif with no expression
cont.c:317:6: error: #elif with no expression
make: *** [cont.o] Error 1

Could you give us any hint to solve this issue?

I’m on Ubuntu 9.10 ‘KArmic Koala’ and I folllowed your instrtuctions to install just ruby 1.9.1. After I did

serge@ubuntu:~/src/ruby-1.9.1-p0$ cd ~
serge@ubuntu:~$ ruby -v
The program ‘ruby’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ruby
ruby: command not found
serge@ubuntu:~$

Any idea Amer?

Amer, I went up to ‘sudo make && sudo make install’ and I got at the very end the error:

gcc -O2 -g -Wall -Wno-parentheses -I. -I.ext/include/i686-linux -I./include -I. -DRUBY_EXPORT -o cont.o -c cont.c
cont.c:90:6: error: #elif with no expression
cont.c:270:6: error: #elif with no expression
cont.c:317:6: error: #elif with no expression
make: *** [cont.o] Error 1
serge@ubuntu:~/src/ruby-1.9.1-p0$ ruby -v
The program ‘ruby’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ruby
ruby: command not found

Any idea how to resolve it? I’m on Ubuntu 9.10. Thank you.

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed, it’s a little out of date but now I have ruby/rails all up to date and working. Good work!
