linecache19 fails to build with Ruby 1.9.2

gem install linecache19
ERROR: Error installing linecache19:

not sure what the issue is here.

[mark-moseley]

Can you use a more recent version of 1.9.2?

[mistergibson]

Would you suggest doing a pull from the ruby repo here on github for fresh builds, or do you have a favorite?

[mark-moseley]

Try 1.9.2-p180 from ruby-lang.org.

I am having the same problem with installing with RVM:

$ rvm use 1.9.2

I'm also seeing this problem. And why is my system rubygems being referenced when I'm using rvm?

Any updates on this? Right now I can't use ruby-debug with ruby 1.9.2 which is a real pain in the ass....

To be clear, this is an issue on the current 1.9.2-head via RVM.

I was able to get this working. Note, that I just switched to using rbenv instead of rvm to manage ruby versions.

My bundle command was pointed at the default, system wide bundler (/usr/bin/bundle) making it use the system ruby (187) even though I had set rbenv to use 192. I removed the old bundler in a new shell using the default ruby:

gem uninstall bundle   # then select all versions in menu
sudo rm /usr/bin/bundle  # this stuck around for some reason

Now my bundle command is pointed at my current rbenv ruby (192):

which bundle
/Users/mike.frawley/.rbenv/shims/bundle

[knuton]

Make sure to use a new shell session after installing bundler when using rbenv. Only after reading @ratbeard’s comment did I think of doing which bundle instead of rbenv which bundle.

I even suspect that @ratbeard’s solution helped because he started a new shell and that the other steps are not actually necessary (and you can and should keep your system wide bundler).
