EDIT: Bryan is right - just try installing libncurses & libreadline first, there's a good chance that'll work by itself. If that doesn't fly, you might need to do the whole ruby reinstall thing.

Really common error - it means you're missing some libraries necessary to run console.

This guide should show you how to fix it.

The short of it is, try installing libncurses & readline with the following command (I'm guessing from your directory structure you're using Ubuntu. If it's something else that doesn't use apt-get, change accordingy)

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libreadline5-dev
ruby ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290/readline/ext/extconf.rb
cd ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290/readline/ext/
sudo make

If that doesn't work, you'll need to reinstall ruby 1.9.2 through rvm after installing the readline package. Don't uninstall the libncurses/readline packages installed through apt-get though - you'll still need 'em.

rvm package install readline
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr
ruby ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290/readline/ext/extconf.rb
cd ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290/readline/ext/
sudo make

Hope this helps
