Installing ruby with rvm fails on ubuntu 10.10

I have been trying to install ruby 1.9.2 using rvm but I'm unable to get it to work..

I am behind a proxy, but I have configured both http_proxy and https_proxy.

Output:

ta@ci:~$ rvm install 1.9.2-p136

Halting the installation.

Eventually I managed to get it to work this way as well. Using the .curlrc is also a good idea, but I don't like storing my password as plain text on the machine.

rvm install 1.9.2-p136 --proxy http://username:password@domain:port

I think you can put these lines in your ~/.curlrc file:

proxy-user = "username:password"
proxy = "http://proxy.domain.com:8080"

I got this from the curl manual page, which can be found online here.

.. The config file is a text file in which command line arguments can be written which then will be used as if they were written on the actual command line. ..

.. Long option names can optionally be given in the config file without the initial double dashes. ..
