issues with updating to ruby 1.9.3

[Ranjna Goyal]

I am using a Mac and needed to upgrade to ruby 1.9.3. I tried following command:

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

and received error:

---------------------------

  * To start using RVM you need to run `source /Users/eTouch/.rvm/scripts/rvm`

    in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.

----------------------------

then I had tried running above command as suggested: source /Users/eTouch/.rvm/scripts/rvm and by running this, when I did ran ruby -v, it gave me 2.0.2p0

however i could not install any gems. So I tried installing ruby again as: rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p290 and received following error:

-----------------

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/ruby-1.9.2-p290.

Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

The provided compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.

then i tried 'rvm get head' and received following error:

try:

    rvm get head
    rvm install 1.9.3 --autolibs=3
    rvm install 2.0.0 --autolibs=3

you need to switch to the ruby you want to use:

    rvm use 2.0.0 --default

If you only want Ruby 1.9.3, you can install (it should compile with
your LLVM GCC) directly with:

"\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3"

Concerning your Ruby 2.0.0p0 install, what do you mean "I could not
install gems"? Assuming you want to try and get this working, can you
please post error output?

It is possible you'll need RVM 'head' for a fix at some point, but to
start with, I'd avoid it and stay with 'stable' / 'latest'.

Finally, regarding GCC. I think Ruby 1.9.2 will not compile with an
LLVM GCC, but 1.9.3 will. So, as you said you want 1.9.3, you should
be fine.

However, I can't be sure about the specifics of the GCC error, I've
not used MacOS 10.8. My hunch is you have a new GCC LLVM from Apple
(/usr/bin/gcc). I think Xcode >= 4.2 starting using LLVM GCC. If you
need non-LLVM GCC, you can use either MacPorts or possibly HomeBrew.
It might be possible to run an old Xcode on 10.8, but I have no idea;
you'll have to research that.

In short, "rm -rf ~/.rvm" if you don't want to keep Ruby 2, then
directly install 1.9.3 as above, and you should be fine.

I hope this helps!

It appears to me that you are installing RVM for the first time..? If
that is true, I'll assume it means you can delete the installation
you've just attempted, which will probably make things easier, e.g.
start from scratch.

You mention you need Ruby 1.9.3, however the command you ran to
install RVM will install the latest Ruby, hence the Ruby 2
installation. You should not need to use RVM ("rvm get head"), I
suggest avoiding it unless you are intending to work with and debug
RVM itself.

So, to remove the existing RVM:

"rvm implode"

OR, if RVM is not running properly, simply do:
"rm -rf $HOME/.rvm"

and possibly restart your shell.

Then, to install stable RVM with Ruby 1.9.3:

"\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby 1.9.3"

(RVM will install the latest patch level of 1.9.3, which is currently p392.)

This installation procedure should be quite reliable. If you have
problems, please post your results. I hope this helps.

Arg, sorry, I made a typo in the last message:

"\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3"

Note the "=1.9.3" ^^^^

You are using clang to compile ruby-1.9.3 - on OSX it was working better with gcc-4.2, are you using older RVM? always update rvm before reporting problem
