Kenneth,

Thanks for the reply. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and RVM to manage
different ruby installations.

I had to do:

rvm package install readline
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-readline-dir=/home/syed/.rvm/usr/

following the instructions here:
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/readline/ and with help from
Sutto at #rvm irc.freenode.net

I didn't try your solution, though I am sure it works.

Thanks once again.
