Installing IronRuby using RVM on Linux

Has anyone successfully installed IronRuby using RVM on Linux? It seems
that
IronRubyh itself is installed, but I get an error during some
post-install
bit:

Error running

Hello Will,

I have the same problem, if you find a solution please don’t forget to
post back… I’m still trying to resolve this issue too.
I’m running Ubuntu 10.04:

Regards,
Rodrigo.

I’m having the same issue as well.
Fedora 11, with Mono 2.4.3

Thanks,
Sidu.

Perhaps Ivan Porto C. can shed some insight. He was maintaining the
mono builds of IronRuby for a while; perhaps he knows how to get
IronRuby to
build on Mono, and maybe we can contribute this knowledge back to the
RVM
team.
