irb, Fedora Core 2

[Robert Love]

I'm wanting to play/learn Ruby. I have a Fedora core 2 system that has
ruby 1.8.1 installed but I can't find irb. Should it be there? Is that
part of the Ruby base system or is it an add on? Can I get just irb?

Thanks for all pointers.

rpm doesn't install it. install from tar.gz.

IIRC, Fedora has a separate irb rpm you have to install. It's been a few
years since I played on a RedHat system, so I can't remember exactly
what it's called, but maybe that will be enough to point you in the
right direction?

Good luck,

Sorry I'm a little late but...

yum install irb

...should do it.

Cheers,
