1. apt-get install libreadline-ruby
2. apt-get install libreadline-dev
3. cd to where your downloaded source for ruby is located. (say ~/installed-software/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz)
4. cd to ruby-1.8.6
5. run ./configure
6. run make
7. run make install
While running make, while the lines are streaming by, you will be able to notice 'compiling readline'.
8. try ruby script/console from your app dir. It should load it this time.

You don't have to completely rebuild ruby. From your ruby source directory:
cd ext/readline/
ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install
Thanks ya'll
I can confirm that the previous post works (a complete ruby rebuild was not nessary.)
I was however missing libreadline-dev and had to install it using apt-get.
ubuntu should have come with it :)
just ran into the same on Debian 2.6.7 with ruby 1.8.6/rails 2.0.2
and I'm learning how to build a secure web app with eclipse 3.1
the shortcut worked for me too!
thanks
thanks. this really helped :-)
Thanks, this helped. I can't count on two hands the number of times I've had to search for the exact apt-get packages.
