I am running Lion, utilizing Xcode 4, have RVM and homebrew installed but am only able to run ruby 1.8.7

    spurvis:~ rogue$ ruby -v
    ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin11.0]
    spurvis:~ rogue$

I've read through several threads related to this topic but nothing seems to work for my problem:

    spurvis:~ rogue$ rvm install 1.9.2

The make.log gives me the following info:

Per other suggestions I tried adding export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to my bashrc but that didn't solve the problem either.

Please help!

Try rvm install 1.9.2 --with-gcc=clang per stackoverflow.com/questions/8032824/… – Eddie Monge Jr

Make sure you have the latest xcode available (you'll need to update it if you're running a copy from snow leopard. Update RVM rvm get head and then try again.

I had problems compiling ree but 1.9.2 worked fine, you can try adding this function to .profile in your home directory, it'll compile with gcc (instead of the default LLVM)

# using_gcc for 64btt compiling on lion (solves compatability issues)
function using_gcc() {
  env CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ARCHS="x86_64" $*
}

Then run using_gcc rvm install 1.9.2

If you're running a fresh copy of Lion & Xcode 4.2, you're going to need to install the GCC 4.2 dev libraries first - they aren't included in a fresh Xcode 4.2 install.

Then pass the CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" flag when installing your rvm.

Be sure to rvm remove any previous installation attempts first.

If you want to get rvm install ree with ruby 1.8.7 to work, this solved the problem for me:

# using_gcc for 32btt compiling on lion (solves compatability issues)
function using_gcc() {
  env CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2" ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_32" ARCHS="x86_32" $*
}

#then

using_gcc rvm install ree

Basically just changing "64" to "32" in the other answer.
