I hope this helps someone else. I decided that I need to get setup with Ruby 1.9, and I found this nice write up.

However, when I typed:

multiruby_setup the_usual

I kept receiving the following error, in my ~/.multiruby/build/ruby-1.8.6-p383/log.build (your directory may vary depending on the patch level for ruby 1.8.6):

readline.c: In function ‘filename_completion_proc_call’

This post pointed me in the right direction, it seems that my installation of readline in /usr/local was causing a conflict. I had just installed that the other day, when I decided to abandoned macports and go /usr/local. I just removed this installation, by going to the source directory (which I still had around) and typing sudo make uninstall. I am not sure if this messed up any of my other libraries, only time will tell.
