Ruby 2.2.1 install failed - 'rdoc'

[dpaluy]

I tried to install Ruby 2.2.1 and got the following error:

BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 14.10 using ruby-build 20150303)

Last 10 log lines:

uncommon.mk:427: recipe for target 'rdoc' failed

Is there any known solution?

Thanks.

Might be related to #728 but I'm not sure.

Try disabling the doc building step like here #156 (comment)

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--disable-install-doc rbenv install ...

Can you enlight me were to put that?

ATM I do:

echo 'gem: --no-document' >> /usr/local/etc/gemrc &&\
    mkdir /src && cd /src && git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git &&\
    cd /src/ruby-build && ./install.sh &&\
    cd / && rm -rf /src/ruby-build && ruby-build 2.2.3 /usr/local

# Abort script when any command fails.
# Useful to avoid having to chain all commands on one line with `&&`.
set -e

echo 'gem: --no-document' > /usr/local/etc/gemrc
mkdir -p /src
git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git /src/ruby-build
/src/ruby-build/install.sh
rm -rf /src/ruby-build
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--disable-install-doc ruby-build 2.2.3 /usr/local

Same issue in an instance in amazon lightsail. Solved by action stated within #729 (comment)
