apt-get install ruby
Installs ruby 1.8.7
When I install ruby 1.9.2 from sources via ./configure make install, ruby is not installed (ruby -v gives nothing).
So how can I install ruby 1.9.2 on Ubuntu?
A:
You can install ruby 1.9.1 with
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1
ruby 1.9.2 is not available for lucid (but I have not checked backports).

I need 1.9.2 because Rails doesn't work with 1.9.1

I see package rails, that depends on ruby1.8. I am missing something?

Yes, 1.8 works, but 1.9.x is a lot faster. That's why I want to use it.

- on 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat":
apt-get install ruby1.9.1 - on 10.04 "Lucid Lynx": Ruby 1.9.2 was only released a couple of weeks ago, it didn't exist when Lucid was frozen.

will apt-get install ruby1.9.1 install ruby 1.9.2? 1.9.1 doesn't work with Rails

@Alex: Yes, on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat (and current Debian, too), the version of the `ruby1.9.1` package is 1.9.2, which you can easily check by looking at `apt-cache show ruby1.9.1` or http://Packages.UbuntuLinux.Org/ruby1.9.1 or http://Packages.Debian.Org/ruby1.9.1

Sheesh, good to know that rvm is still the only sane option, then.

I use rvm Ruby Version Manager on my ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop. With ruby-1.9.2 , ruby 1.8.7 no problem.
