#### KNOWN ISSUES
- Typhoeus segmentation fault
Update cURL to version => 7.21 (may have to install from source)
- Proxy not working
Update cURL to version => 7.21.7 (may have to install from source).
Installation from sources :
```
Grab the sources from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
Decompress the archive
Open the folder with the extracted files
Run ./configure
Run make
Run sudo make install
Run sudo ldconfig
```
- cannot load such file -- readline:
```sudo aptitude install libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev```
Then, open the directory of the readline gem (you have to locate it)
```
cd ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180/ext/readline
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install
```
See http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/ruby-on-rails/fixing-readline-for-the-ruby-on-rails-console/ for more details
- no such file to load -- rubygems
```update-alternatives --config ruby```
And select your ruby version
