I built Ruby 2.1.2 from source and got all the desired 3rd party libs installed except readline. A minor nuisance since it mostly only affects irb and history. Except I want irb history so I can use the up arrow key to recall commands.
I tried rb-readline but it was acting weird, with stray characters appearing and general wonkiness that I can't describe. Instead, I installed rawline and modified the irb/completion.rb file so that it requires rawline instead of readline.
