E: Unable to locate package ruby-rvm

try this: go into scripts/install-system-req.sh and comment out the line
"sudo apt-get -y install ruby-rvm" --- then follow the apt-get purge,
and rm (first lines) from that link you provided; then try to re-run
create-dev-env.sh; see if that helps.

It doesn't work for me. The problem is that I could only find references to p374 into create-dev-env.sh and install system prereq.sh and .rubyversion .

I removed / changed all of them without success. Both ruby-rvm package and ruby-1.9.3-p374 still aren;t in raring (my version, 1304).

It seems that the only way to make it work is using Precise Pangolin. I'm downloading the iso now, can you confirm?

I tried 1304, but not very hard; I've seen project people testing 12.10, so I decided (as a non-project person, an "outsider") to try on 12.04 (LTS seems like a good target). I'm trying to just let the scripts "do their thing" (not reading too much, not manually intervening), and I'm still working on it (but I think I'm pretty far along).

RE: "ruby-1.9.3-p374" not in raring: as per the referred post, and many other posts suggesting not using the installed ruby, but the method you cited: note that there is an accepted pull-request which fixes a typo in create-dev-env.sh (the "--autodotfiles" option should be: "--auto-dotfiles"). You can either an update from master, or make this change manually.

There is in fact not an rvm package in the 13.04 package manager as of yet. It will probably be included soon, but as of now there's not a very good workaround since the installation of rvm on ubuntu is still an area being debugged. It's probably a good idea to switch to 12.04 in general since it's support will last until 2017, but the package managers associated with 12.10, or any non-deprecated versions of mint and debian should include a version of the rvm package.
