It took me a bit of digging to figure this out (it kept failing with readline errors, and then iconv went missing), so I thought I’d share:
rvm package install readline
rvm package install iconv
rvm install 1.9.2 -C --enable-shared,--with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr,\
--with-readline-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usrUpdate: The package command has been renamed pkg in newer versions of rvm.
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine and I were talking about a study she’d just read, which concluded that people without children were happier than people with children; or, to put it more precisely, despite what conventional wisdom holds, the study found that having children did not increase anyone’s happiness.
At which all I could do was burst out laughing. Because, well. Duh.
Only an academic would undertake a study like this, defining happiness as something along the lines of “satisfaction with life” and “feeling rewarded by your work.” If there’s an occupation more likely to make you feel incompetent and unrewarded than being a parent, I have never heard of it.
If you want others to follow, learn to be alone with your thoughts
