Subject: Is it a ruby bug?

Hi Folks,
   Nowdays I program ruby from windows to suse-linux 10.1, when I
compile the ruby source code and make && make install and then install
rails , I can't start a console. It reports me an error(and this occurs
both in ruby 1.8.5 and ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36)) :

I can't find a readline.rb in my system. Well, is it a ruby bug and anybody have ideas on solving this problem ?

     Regards.
