Hello. I'm new here. :) The versions currently used are getting old, and I cannot install something like RVM because the version of BASH is too old. So, I was wondering if there is a How-To to build the tools. Maybe later, I can take a tar-ball of the source, and have a go at it (though no idea what I'm doing). Lastly, is there a silent install of the tools? I wanted to have a command line install using something Chcolately. I wanted to incorporate options that are available in the GUI in a command line version. - Joaquin Menchaca |

RVM packages are using symlinks which aren't supported. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd |

Here's a snippet where they explicitly check for a version, and block processing further: BASH_MIN_VERSION="3.2.25" if [[ -n "${BASH_VERSION:-}" && "$(printf "%b" "${BASH_VERSION:-}\n${BASH_MIN_VERSION}\n" | LC_ALL=C sort -n -t"." | head -n1)" != "${BASH_MIN_VERSION}" ]] then echo "BASH ${BASH_MIN_VERSION} required (you have $BASH_VERSION)" exit 1 fi (Source: https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer) |
