I'm running a linux virtual machine on my windows pc, and am trying to
install ruby. i've used apt-get, like so:
apt-Âget install ruby ri rdoc mysqlÂserver libmysqlÂruby
now, ruby is *there* but not installed. ie
whereis ruby
=> ruby: /usr/bin/ruby /usr/lib/ruby /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz
but when i try to use ruby i get:
ruby hello_world.rb
=>The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. You can install it
by
typing:
apt-get install ruby
This happens even if i navigate to /usr/bin/ruby first. (btw if i do
"apt-get install ruby" i'm told it's already installed).
I've tried adding the above folder to my path as follows:
in ~/.bashrc
export PATH=/usr/bin/ruby:.:$PATH
Can anyone see what i've done wrong? Could this be because it's in a
virtual machine? (i don't see why but i'm new to this stuff)
thanks
