when i type 'rails console' in my rails 3 project I get the following error

/home/yadav/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/completion.rb:9:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)   from /home/yadav/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/completion.rb:9:in `<top (required)>'   from /home/yadav/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.0.0/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:3:in `require'   from /home/yadav/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.0.0/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:3:in `<top (required)>'   from /home/yadav/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:20:in `require'   from /home/yadav/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/railties-3.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:20:in `<top (required)>'   from script/rails:6:in `require'   from script/rails:6:in `<main>'

I built rails 3 from source and do have gnu readline files installed

dpkg -l | grep readline ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time libraries ii libreadline6-dev 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries, development files ii readline-common 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries, common files

i also installed rdp-rb-readline (0.2.0.1)

not sure why i am seeing this error?

I found the solution, this seems to be an error with RVM on Linux

http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/readline/

You need to install the dev files for realine before you do those steps
