Ruby version problem
 
Debian Squeeze Virtual Server

I've been trying to create a ruby on rails environment for the getontracks.org application, but I've got my ruby versions messed up so I'm not sure what I'm running

Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p362 (2012-12-25 revision 38607) [x86_64-linux]
this version shows even if I remove all packages, libraries and references to ruby on the system, and if I try to run ruby

Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# ruby
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
        from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'
If I install ruby and try and run it I either get the same above or if I run

Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# ruby1.8
It just hangs

So how can I get back to a clean system to start again, or fix this one?

What's the output of

Code:
dpkg -l '*ruby*'

irvken 02-18-2013 09:36 AM
Quite a lot

Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# dpkg -l '*ruby*'

you can exclude 'un' lines, they are uninstalled:

Code:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l '*ruby*' | grep -v '^un'
'rc' on the other hands means problem. Try reconfigure those packages, eg:

Code:
dpkg-reconfigure ruby1.9.1

Thanks, that was useful. I've now uninstalled nearly everything relevant but still get misinformation from : ruby -v . Is this the best I'll be able to clean it up?

ruby 1.9.3p362 (2012-12-25 revision 38607) [x86_64-linux]

there shouldn't be any 'ruby' on your computer. try this:

Code:
which ruby
ls -l $(which ruby)
dpkg -S $(which ruby)

irvken 02-18-2013 03:54 PM
Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
root@irvken:/home/sean# ls -l /usr/local/bin/ruby
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 7265189 Jan  8 17:34 /usr/local/bin/ruby
root@irvken:/home/sean# dpkg -S ruby
ruby1.9.1-elisp: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ruby1.9.1-elisp.el
nano: /usr/share/nano/ruby.nanorc
Would it be ok to just delete /usr/local/bin/ruby do you think?

NevemTeve 02-19-2013 02:22 AM
It means you have compiled ruby from source on 8th Jan, and installed it into /usr/local/bin -- it has nothing to do with dpkg.

irvken 02-19-2013 03:58 AM
ok, makes sense. Can I just delete the ruby binary then?

NevemTeve 02-19-2013 06:21 AM
Try to refresh your memories: did you compile and install ruby on 8th Jan, or not? If so, you can safely delete it; otherwise it had to be someone else -- try to find out who it was.

irvken 02-19-2013 07:49 AM
I think it's very probable that I did

Code:
root@irvken:/home/sean# ruby
bash: ruby: command not found
root@irvken:/home/sean# which ruby
root@irvken:/home/sean#
thanks for your help
