Unicode characters in Ruby 1.9.3 IRB with RVM

Question

Update: I found almost exact similar question, yet it has slightly different prerequisites and thus doesn\'t help much.

Given:

• Mac

Answer 1

only rvm reinstall all --force helped me

Answer 2

Other solution would be using http://railsinstaller.org it already provides everything compiled for Ruby and Rails, I was working hard to solve all the libraries compilation and provide one package.

Answer 3

RVM has issues with readline installed via homebrew. This gist worked perfectly for me:

$ rvm get latest
$ rvm pkg install readline
$ rvm install 1.9.3 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr

Instead of install you can use reinstall.
