This one presented quite a challenge for me. It seems that the magical solution is using the right versions. There are a number of ways (supposedly) to install ruby on rails. I started out trying to use ruby packages included in CentOS. I quickly realized that was not going to work. It kept running all kinds of issues with libraries missing or incorrect versions. So then, I opted to just build from source. Well, this got me much closer but I ended up having an openssl issue that I thought I resolved, but the gem command was having all kinds of issues. Something clearly was not right. So, I then went back to using RVM, which I had tried earlier. This time I started completely over with a new HPCloud CentOS 5.6 image. The following is what worked for me.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, I started with a clean HPCloud CEntOS 5.6 image ( ami-000004d2 – local (CentOS 5.6 Server 64-bit) ).<\/p>\n

# yum groupinstall “Development Libraries” “Development Tools” <\/p>\n

The next step, of course, turned my 5.6 instance into a 5.7 instance:
\n# yum update
\n# shutdown -r now<\/p>\n

Add the EPEL repository:<\/p>\n

# cd \/usr\/local\/src
\n# wget http:\/\/download.fedora.redhat.com\/pub\/epel\/5\/i386\/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
\n# rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
\n# yum install git<\/p>\n

Remove certificate requirement for curl, when installing rvm:
\n# echo insecure >> ~\/.curlrc<\/p>\n

# bash -s stable < <(curl -s https:\/\/raw.github.com\/wayneeseguin\/rvm\/master\/binscripts\/rvm-installer)\n\n# vigr\n...\nrvm:x:500:root\n\nUpdate environment variables:\n# source \/etc\/profile.d\/rvm.sh\n\nInstall other dependencies for ruby determined by running rvm requirements<\/em>:
\n# yum install -y gcc-c++ patch readline readline-devel zlib zlib-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel make bzip2 autoconf automake libtool bison iconv-devel<\/p>\n

# rvm install 1.9.2
\n# rvm use 1.9.2<\/p>\n

Note: You can use the following command to make this version the system default:
\n# rvm use 1.9.2 –default<\/p>\n

To verify that all is right at this point:
\n# type rvm | head -1
\nrvm is a function<\/em> is the expected output.<\/p>\n

# cd $(rvm gemdir)<\/p>\n

The following will install the gem command:
\n# rvm rubygems current<\/p>\n

This will allow you to install rails:
\n# gem install rails<\/p>\n

This has allowed me (rails is not needed for this) to install hpcloud command to manage my Storage Object.<\/p>\n

# wget http:\/\/build.hpcloud.com\/sites\/default\/files\/downloads\/hpfog.tar
\n# tar -xvf hpfog.tar
\n# wget http:\/\/build.hpcloud.com\/sites\/default\/files\/downloads\/hpcloud.tar
\n# tar -xvf hpcloud.tar
\n# gem install hpfog-x.x.x.gem
\n# gem install hpcloud-x.x.x.gem<\/p>\n

# hpcloud
\nTasks:
\n hpcloud account:setup # set up or modify your credentials
\n hpcloud acl # view the ACL for an object or container
\n hpcloud acl:set # set a given resource to a canned ACL
\n hpcloud containers # list available containers
\n hpcloud containers:add # add a container
\n hpcloud containers:remove # remove a container
\n hpcloud copy # copy files from one resource to another
\n hpcloud get # fetch an object to your local directory
\n hpcloud help [TASK] # Describe available tasks or one specific task
\n hpcloud info # info about the HP Cloud CLI
\n hpcloud list # list container contents
\n hpcloud location # display the URI for a given resource
\n hpcloud move # move objects inside or between containers
\n hpcloud remove # remove an object or container<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
