Notes for Linux ( CentOS release 5.5 (Final) )

    *  NOTE: MRI stands for Matz's Ruby Interpreter (1.8.X, 1.9.X), ree stands for Ruby Enterprise Edition and rbx stands for Rubinius.


    *  curl is required.

    *  patch is required (for ree, some ruby head's).

    *  If you wish to install rbx and/or any MRI head (eg. 1.9.2-head) then you must install and use rvm 1.8.7 first.

    *  For MRI/ree (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ yum install -y gcc-c++ patch readline readline-devel zlib zlib-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel
       $ yum install -y iconv-devel # NOTE: For centos 5.4 final iconv-devel might not be available :(
    *  For JRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ yum install -y java


scott,

Thank you for using rvm. I hope that it makes your work easier and more enjoyable.
If you have any questions, issues and/or ideas for improvement please hop in #rvm on irc.freenode.net and let me know.
My irc nickname is 'wayneeseguin' and I hang out from ~09:00-17:00EST and again from ~21:00EST-~00:00EST.
If I do not respond right away, please hang around after asking your question, I will respond as soon as I am back.
Be sure to get head often as rvm development happens fast, you can do this by typing 'rvm update --head'.
  w⦿‿⦿t!
    ~ Wayne

Installation of RVM to /usr/local/rvm/ is complete.
