fubar'd a ruby installation on ubuntu, need helping purging it for reinstall
- by tipu
i originally followed these steps to get a RoR environmentgoing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails
that worked. then i put 1.9.2 on here. then i decided i want the original setup, did a "whereis ruby" and deleted those directories manually.
that fubar'd my ruby installation. i can't use the repository to what i originally had. how can i purge ruby from completely and start fresh?
right now the specific error is this:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:11:in `require': no such file to load -- thread (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:11
from /usr/bin/gem1.8:8:in `require'
from /usr/bin/gem1.8:8
