How to install a Rails application when using RVM?

Question

I've followed instructions from this question on SO to set up RVM, rubies and gem lists.

I have created rubies 1.8.7 and 1.9.3. For the ruby 1.8.7 I have created a gemset called Organisator.

I have activated the 1.8.7 ruby and gemset "Organisator".

I navigated to the folder of my app and tried to run bundle install . I assume that's how I'm supposed to install the gems needed for my app, same way I did when I did not have RVM.

Error message I get:

root@user-VirtualBox:/home/user/RoR/testapp# bundle install

Please report this error to the Bundler issue tracker at https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues so that we can fix it. Please include the full output of the command, your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock. Thanks!

I also get an error message when I try to create a new app:

root@user-VirtualBox:/home/user/RoR# rails new testapp
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/railties/lib/rails_generator.rb:30:in `require': no such file to load -- active_support (LoadError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/railties/lib/rails_generator.rb:30
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/railties/bin/rails:16:in `require'
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/railties/bin/rails:16

I assume I've done something wrong when setting up RVM. The only idea I have right now is installing all the gems from my gemfile and adding them to gemfile manually.

Versions

• Ruby 1.8.7-p358
• Rails 2.3.1.4
• RVM 1.10.3
• Ubuntu 11.10

Answer 1

please use the "quick fix" from here https://rvm.io/packages/openssl/

you have to ignore the rest of instructions, they are intended for systems that do not support packages (like osx)

Answer 2

Yes, you've missed openssl, type this, should work

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm pkg install iconv
rvm remove 1.8.7
rvm install 1.8.7 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr,--with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
