I recently refreshed my Linux installation with Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu 10.04) 64-bit, no Ruby packages at all, and started with a clean install of rvm.
But when I ran rvm install 1.9.2
, after half an hour or so of some heavy CPU usage the computer froze altogether. I powered down and restarted it, and rvm tells me that ruby-1.9.2-p0 is installed.
Same story when I ran `rvm install 1.8.7' just now.
Should I be surprised? More importantly, how can I know if the Ruby versions installed are really going to work correctly--is there a test I can run?
