rvm install 2.1.4 <--- fails on Mac OS X mavricks - ruby

Question

Trying to install ruby 2.1.4 using latest rvm on Mac OS X Mavericks...
rvm fails to install ruby 2.1.4
Cryptic error message about empty default gemset ??
Tried installing twice.
I was able to install ruby 2.1.3 few days ago, and all was okay
Help appreciated

Error when installing Ruby 2.1.3 with RVM

Answer 2

I ran into similar issues where 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 hang on the compilation step.
This solved my issue:
rvm install 2.1.4 -- --with-setjmp-type=setjmp
