====== Installing Ruby From Source ====== To install Ruby you will first need to install the libyaml from [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libyaml|source]] \\ To install libyaml do the following: 1. change into the source directory cd libyaml-0.2.5 2. Run the bootstrap script ./bootstrap 3. Run configure script with prefix set to /home/.hub_local /configure --prefix=/home/.hub_local make make install That it for the libyaml prereq. Next need to download the source code for Ruby [[https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/| here]] \\ To compile first need to set the following environment variables export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/.hub_local/include" export LDFLAGS=-L/home/.hub_local/lib Then change the directory into the Ruby source folder and run the configure script ./configure --prefix=/home/.hub_local make make install That should be it.
