Ruby 1.9.3 installer for Cloud9 workspaces

install-cloud9.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script downloads and installs Ruby 1.9.3-p194 into Cloud9 workspace.
# It makes possible to use Ruby 1.9 for running apps there instead of default Ruby 1.8.7

# Create this file in a root of your workspace.
# Run in command line: chmod +x install-cloud9.sh
# And: ./install-cloud9.sh
# It will take some time to download and compile libyaml and ruby.
# Adjust ruby version paths according to your needs.

# Output usually triples.
# A lot of locale related errors, but they seem not to make anything wrong.

#yay!

This worked well. Thank you. It did take a while to compile ruby, but that's fine.
