Error while installing Ruby 1.9.3 on Ubuntu 10.10, with rvm

Question

I'm trying to install Ruby 1.9.3 to be able to install Rails 4.0. My RVM version is the latest stable. I've also tried apt-get -y update.

rvm list known shows [ruby-]1.9.3[-p448] in the list

Please advise :)

rvm install 1.9.3-p448

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: ubuntu/10.10/i386/ruby-1.9.3-p448.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Installing requirements for ubuntu, might require sudo password.

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
There has been error while updating 'apt-get', please give it some time and try again later.
For 404 errors check your sources configured in:
    /etc/apt/sources.list
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

Answer 1

switch RVM Autolibs to read-fail:

rvm autolibs read-fail

it will tell RVM to not install/update anything and only fail telling you what is missing for you, from here on it's your choice if you want to install the missing dependencies (most likely you do), or to ignore the dependencies and let RVM know you do not want to know that something is missing with:

rvm autolibs read-only

it will tell RVM to not install/update anything and only use what is already installed, no fail will occur, just a warning will be displayed that something is missing.

Answer 2

Have you tried installing it with this command?

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.3
