If I run the ruby -v command inside the bitnami-rubystack-2.1-0-dev-ubuntu-10.10 machine I get this output

ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i686-linux]

but on the page http://bitnami.com/stack/rubystack
you wrote this in info about the ruby version
RubyStack 2.1-0 VMware Dev
Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3

Sorry there was a typo in the web page that we will fix it. The current RubyStack-Dev ships Ruby 1.9.1.

There are several problems with ami-46d1242f (the ami listed above). This is the first time I’ve used a Bitnami stack and gave up on it. Neither Ruby or Rails is up-to-date on this image and despite many attempts to update them – I’ve failed. Build essentials is necessary to update many gem such as nokogiri – yet its not installed on the image – so a simple update doesn’t work. The lack of appropriate environment set-up makes it even more difficult to update gem (and their dependencies). For example libxml2 is installed – but gem can’t find it. After fighting with the stack for an hour – I fixed it – but its now a frankenstein that I can’t trust.

I love bitnami’s work and promote the team whenever possible – but this latest Stack isn’t up to your standards.

Thanks for your suggestions. We will update all components in RubyStack soon. Also we should figure out how to include build essentials in the AMI to install new gems. We will appreciate your feedback and we will work on that.
