its so fucking cool that the tutorial im following for installing ruby doesn't work with modern versions of ubuntu that is so sick
☭
@wallhackio What does the Clodsire need Ruby for? Also, what's the error message. Perhaps, the Vaporeon can try to help...
@vaporeon_ I fixed it
I am learning ruby on rails for job hunt purposes
@vaporeon_ I need to manually compile an older version of OpenSSL because Ruby doesn't like the newer versions. I also had to manually install something called libyaml, and install a couple packages (libffi-dev, build-essential, checkinstall, zlib1g-dev)
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ btw Ruby can definitely build against current OpenSSL so idk what your toolchain is doing but it seems kinda bad
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ also
doesn’t ubuntu have Ruby in its repositories? why couldn’t you just apt install ruby?
@aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ i recommend using rbenv rather than installing ruby from a package manager because needing to switch ruby versions is common and a pain
rbenv says to install from git rather than use apt install because the latter is out of date
@Lady @aescling @vaporeon_ the tutorial I followed use some package manager named Mise because, according to the tutorial, it "allows you to easily update Ruby and switch between versions anytime."
@wallhackio @Lady @vaporeon_ when i saw that the tutorial used a Ruby installer i had never heard of befur i was like “okay well there’s your purroblem”. rbenv is pretty good, just use that
