Question

I have been trying to install ruby 1.9.2 using rvm but I’m unable to get it to work..

I am behind a proxy, but I have configured both http_proxy and https_proxy.

Output:

ta@ci:~$ rvm install 1.9.2-p136

Halting the installation.
ERROR: There has been an error fetching the ruby interpreter. Halting the installation.

Eventually I managed to get it to work this way as well. Using the .curlrc is also a good idea, but I don’t like storing my password as plain text on the machine.

rvm install 1.9.2-p136 –proxy http://username:password@domain:port
