    *  patch is required (for ree, some ruby head's).

    *  If you wish to install rbx and/or any MRI head (eg. 1.9.2-head) then you must install and use rvm 1.8.7 first.

    *  For JRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ aptitude install curl sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
    *  For MRI & ree (if you wish to use it) you will need (depending on what you are installing):
       $ aptitude install build-essential bison openssl libreadline5 libreadline-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev vim libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libreadline5-dev libreadline6-dev libxml2-dev git-core subversion autoconf
    *  For IronRuby (if you wish to use it) you will need:
       $ aptitude install curl mono-2.0-devel
vadmin@ubuntu:~$ which patch
