==KNOWN ISSUES==

  - Typhoeus segmentation fault:
      Update cURL to version => 7.21 (may have to install from source)

  - Proxy not working:
      Update cURL to version => 7.21.7 (may have to install from source).

      Installation from sources :
        - Grab the sources from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
        - Decompress the archive
        - Open the folder with the extracted files
        - Run ./configure
        - Run make
        - Run sudo make install
        - Run sudo ldconfig

  - cannot load such file -- readline:
      Run sudo aptitude install libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev

      Then, open the directory of the readline gem (you have to locate it)

      cd ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180/ext/readline
      ruby extconf.rb
      make
      make install

      See http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/ruby-on-rails/fixing-readline-for-the-ruby-on-rails-console/ for more details

  - no such file to load -- rubygems
      Run update-alternatives --config ruby
      And select your ruby version
