I'm not sure, but I think you meant psiconv-devel, because no package named iconv-devel is in epel or the standard repos.

Thank you so much!

Thanks! I had to add

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

just before installing rubies.

awesome. Saved me a million hassles with RVM

Thanks!
it worked perfectly in Centos 6.2

default, only root can gem install xxx, but it's good enough for me.

Why not add source ~/.bash_profile to the end of the script? or also just run the export and eval?

@sigull for the second one; that'd make sense. I think for the other one; you'd have to restart the shell since source ~/.bash_profile wouldn't invoke a full reload.

Sorry, how do you run this script without sprinkling sudo all over the place? Isn't /usr/local usually owned by root?

sudo -v = problem solved
