I jailbrake my iPad and want to run Ruby in the console. I installed OpenSSH & Ruby from Saurik. But it is too old (1.9.2) & buggy.
I would like to compile and install the latest version of Ruby on my iPad. Help me, how to do this?

If you have OpenSSH
, you may want to connect via SSH to a Unix based computer and run a full version of Ruby. For Mac there is MacRuby, for Linux just install Ruby via your package manager.
./configure
,make
, and see what errors pop up? iOS devices are tiny Macs anyway. ruby-lang.org/en/downloads – Kevin Chen Dec 13 '13 at 17:11
