Ubuntu RVM install issue rvm_ruby_src_path not set.

Question

Following instructions from http://web2linux.com/installing-rails-3-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ I get to the following line:

rvm install 1.9.2

returns:

ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #fetching 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #extracting ruby-1.9.2-p0 to 
mv: cannot move `/tmp/rvm_src_18035/ruby-1.9.2-p0' to `': No such file or directory
~/.rvm/scripts/manage: line 1237: ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #extracted to : command not found

ruby-1.9.2-p0 - #compiling 
Error running 'make ', please check ~/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p0/make*.log
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

looking at .rvm/scripts/manage it seems that $rvm_ruby_src_path is not set. Am I missing anything in my setup? Below are more details on my environment:

Answer 1

I just reinstalled my mac, and got the same problem.

Edit: after I run rvm update && rvm reload, it works！
