That's untrue. ln -s is ln -s <link-target> <where-to-install-the-link> And in any case, the OP didn't have a system ruby anyway. I would start with typing /usr/local/ruby/bin/ruby -v Does that work? If so, you want /usr/local/ruby/bin on your $PATH If not, look at the configure and make output to see what went wrong. > That all said, if it were me I'd install ruby using RVM Yes, that takes care of all this stuff and more. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
