Upgrading Ruby to 1.8.5

I decided to upgrade Ruby from 1.8.4 to 1.8.5. I don’t know why, but I completely forgot about configuring the install with “readline” location on my MacBook. As you already guessed, Ruby didn’t work. It gave me an error message that I couldn’t make sense of. I’m certain that I’m not the only one with a momentary lapse of the mind. Remember, when upgrading or recompiling Ruby on your Mac, always type “./configure –prefix=/usr/local –enable-pthread –with-readline-dir=/usr/local” before make and make install.
