Hello all,
I am kinda stuck in the process of installing Ruby on Rails 1.3.6.
I was trying to meet dependencies to install libraries for ruby1.9.2-full. First I added repository (
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pratikmsinh...ndings/ubuntu/) and than:
Code:
root@biggie:/home/luciano# aptitude install ruby-full ruby1.9.2-full

As you can see, my system reports that ncurses and openssl are out of date, and need to be updated. I tried updating ncurses many times. I cannot find it "fresher" in the repo's so I downloaded it and tried manually to install it. This is the string I used to configure ncurses for compilation:
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-widec --enable-overwrite --with-shared --with-libtool --enable-termcap
make
make install DESTDIR=/usr
No matter how I tried updating ncurses, it seems that the core libs will not get updated - note the date:
Code:

A friend said that I could use aptitude to uninstall previous ncurses and than manually install fresh version. What worries me - if I try to uninstall it, apt warns me that it will remove another 857 packages (every freaking thing); and a friend says to "force remove" it and than install them manually. However, this is a machine in production and I would really hate to have to reinstall all the other services I am running - that is of no interest to me; I do not want to kill this machine with force removing crucial package.
Can someone give me any pointers or ideas how to go around this and update these packages?
Same thing applies for openssl; I tried manual compilation, it replaced SOME libraries but not all. How do I go about this?
Thanks in advance for the help.
