Kenneth, Thanks for the reply. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and RVM to manage different ruby installations. I had to do: rvm package install readline rvm remove 1.9.2 rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-readline-dir=/home/syed/.rvm/usr/ following the instructions here: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/readline/ and with help from Sutto at #rvm irc.freenode.net I didn't try your solution, though I am sure it works. Thanks once again. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
