Subject: Trying to compile ruby 1.9.2-head on ubuntu 10.10. Help?

I'm trying to compile ruby 1.9.2-head on ubuntu 10.10. I don't know
whether to post it here, or on ubuntu forums. I'll try here first.

I'm following this guide here:
http://rohitarondekar.com/articles/installing-rails3-beta3-on-ubuntu-using-rvm

I followed this guide using 10.04 for the wubi install, and I managed
to get it to work. For some reason, I am having problems now. However,
this could have nothing to do with ubuntu versions and a lot more to
do with my "mistakes" when I was using 10.04. You see, without knowing
what I was doing, I had installed previous ruby versions and so on.
This may have caused a successful compile of 1.9.2 accidentally. LOL.

Anyway, here is the rvm install of ruby 1.9.2:

   egervari@ken:~$ rvm install 1.9.2-head -C --with-openssl-dir=
$rvm_path/usr, --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr
   /home/egervari/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head, this may take a while
depending on your cpu(s)...

   ruby-1.9.2-head - #fetching
   Updating ruby from http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_1_9_2
   Copying from repo to src path...
   Running autoconf
   ruby-1.9.2-head - #configuring
   ruby-1.9.2-head - #compiling
   Error running 'make ', please check /home/egervari/.rvm/log/
ruby-1.9.2-head/make.error.log
   There has been an error while running make. Halting the
installation.

Looking in the log file, this is where it bombs (This is from line
1374+):

   generating enc/trans/utf_16_32.c ...

   converter for from_UTF_32LE

   make: *** [mkmain.sh] Error 1

I'd appreciate any help you could offer to get this to compile. Thanks!
