I recently moved into Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) and the first thing I wanted was to install rvm to be able to get ruby 1.9.3 in the machine and be able to do some development with it, but as usual it was not as easy as it seemed (The joke is on me!) so here are the steps I took to install rvm and ruby 1.9.3 in OSX Mountain Lion.
Install RVM And Ruby On Mac OSX Mountain Lion:
Fast list check:
- Xcode: Got XCode installed?
- Xcode CLI: Got the command line XCode tools installed? (not required but they really do help)
- Mountain Dew: Got Mountain Dew next to you?
Install RVM:
First we install rvm, open a terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) and type one of the next two commands.
- bash (curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
OR the next (taken from the rvm homepage)
- curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
The result for the command is
- Downloading RVM from wayneeseguin branch master

- Adding rvm PATH line to /Users/esanchez/.bashrc /Users/esanchez/.zshrc.
- Adding rvm loading line to /Users/esanchez/.bash_profile /Users/esanchez/.zprofile.
- # RVM: Shell scripts enabling management of multiple ruby environments.
- # RTFM: https://rvm.io/
- # HELP: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=rvm (#rvm on irc.freenode.net)
- # Cheatsheet: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/s/rvm/
- # Screencast: http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm
- # In case of any issues read output of 'rvm requirements' and/or 'rvm notes'
- Installation of RVM in /Users/esanchez/.rvm/ is almost complete:
- * To start using RVM you need to run `source /Users/esanchez/.rvm/scripts/rvm`
- in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.
- # esanchez,
- #
- # Thank you for using RVM!
- # I sincerely hope that RVM helps to make your life easier and
- # more enjoyable!!!

Error Compiling Ruby Version 1.9.2:
Everything is fine, so what is the problem? the problem arised when I tried to compile ruby 1.9.2 and this is the error I got:
- ESanchez:~ esanchez$ rvm install 1.9.2
- Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
- No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/ruby-1.9.2-p320.
- Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

- ESanchez:~ esanchez$
We read the error fully and it says: “The provided compiler ‘/usr/bin/gcc’ is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.” This gives us a tip on using a different compiler for rvm, so we try using clang as a compiler:
- rvm install 1.9.3 --reconfigure --debug -C --enable-pthread --with-gcc=clang
