UPDATE:

Ok guys I have RVM installed Ruby Installed Rails Installed

what when i put echo $PATH

echo $PATH /Users/fawadnaseer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/bin:/Users/fawadnaseer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392@global/bin:/Users/fawadnaseer/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p392/bin:/Users/fawadnaseer/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin

are there any problem in this path?

read the error message. it says to look into /usr/local/rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p374/configure.log — rubiii
I m totally a newbie.. because I was following this tutorial on lynda.. and the guy asked me to update the paths.. but it didnt work out .. sql stuff .. so i think the path has been messed up Update: So guys rvm is installed. I used sudo gem install rails.. now its installing rails. — Fawad

Try using the clang compiler instead of the default:

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
