Trouble installing Ruby 2.0.0-p247 via RVM (OSX Mountain Lion) - ruby

My ultimate goal is to install the current version of Ruby on Rails. I am running on OS X Mountain Lion. Here's my process so far:
Installed RVM
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
Checked for known (and I assume approved) installs
$ rvm list known
I see that the current stable build is available
[ruby-]2.0.0[-p247]
Key in command to install
$ rvm install 2.0.0-p247
Note: I also tried these install commands
$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p247
$ rvm install ruby=2.0.0-p247
I'm getting nowhere fast. Results:
$ rvm install 2.0.0-p247
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.

This is my first installation via RVM. $rvm list returns no gems.
Please ask if any additional information might be helpful.
Edit - HERE is the log in case that might help anyone.

Something must have been wrong with either my Xcode or my Command Line Tools install. Reinstalling both made everything run beautifully.

For those that arrived here from google when you applied the same error as the query:
I got this same problem but did not want to go through the ridiculously long process of reinstalling xcode like the accepted answer suggested. All I did was run
rvm get stable And then run
rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p247 again
my original problem
then after I ran
rvm get stable

Make sure that you install command line tool within XCode because it does not do it automatically (yes, I agree, command line tool should be installed by default) but it isn't.
Install XCode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> "Command Line Tool"
EDIT* missed the whole "made everything run beautifully part" and typed this all out-
Cheers, glad everything worked out!

How do I install ruby with rvm on Mac without encountering this error?

I am trying to install Ruby with rvm but keep getting an error.
$ rvm install ruby
I would like ruby to install perfectly. Instead I get the following error message:

You can disable this warning with: echo rvm_autoupdate_flag=0 >> ~/.rvmrc

Thanks for your help.
10.9 is an early beta build of the OS. [Edit: please note the July 2013 date of this answer] If I were running 10.9 I would assume I'll have to reinstall the operating system from scratch at least 2 more times. (At least once during the beta cycle because, well, it's beta, and once when 10.9 comes out in general release, because, well, beta).
Given this I suggest four courses of action (pick 1 or many):
Work with the RVM guys and dig into 10.9's probably-changed compiler environment and get Ruby 1.8.7 compiling. This is trickier because technically this stuff is under NDA.
Instead, set up a VM and run Ruby 1.8.7 on the VM. Bonus points for using Vagrant and Chef/Puppet, because you may even need to rebuild the VM. (Just keep the Vagrantfile and Puppet or Chef config files on Github/Dropbox/whatever so you can clone them and regenerate your VM from scratch.)
OR simply reboot to 10.8 to get production work done. 10.8 is a production level OS, 10.9 should be treated with caution - it could eat your work. It really shouldn't be used for production purposes (aka: day to day writing Ruby code). If you're writing a 10.9 only app in Cocoa/Objective-C (or updating RubyMotion or something) that might be another thing (but I'd still keep good backups and treat it gently).
Work towards updating your code base for Ruby 2.0, as Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer officially supported anyway.
Edit (Oct 24, 2013): If you're here because you just installed Mavericks (released Oct 22, 2013), want to get Ruby 1.8.7 working a few days after this release, and RVM isn't working for you (because you're impatient and can't wait), here's what you can do (which should work, although I'm not an rbenv user):
Use macports to install port install ruby. This is Ruby 1.8.7. This compilation worked for me on my Mavericks machine (although you will need to install Macports from source at this writing and install the command line developer tools, even if you have XCode 5 installed. Yes, really).
Now, install rbenv.
Symlink /opt/local/bin/ruby1.8 in the ~/.rbenv/versions/ folder. Specifically ~/.rbenv/versions/ruby-1.8.7-p374
Read the rbenv documentation, but it should work now! (At least from the documentation. Again, not an rbenv user, but do play one on TV)
I'm sure you can do this with homebrew too, but I know Ruby 1.8.7 installs correctly with the latest Macports, because that's what I use (and it just installed cleanly for me).
When you see this error message:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables:
First of all, make sure you have upgraded your commandline tools:
$ xcode-select --install
Now Apple wants you to agree to their license before you can use these tools:
$ gcc
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
$ sudo gcc
You have not agreed to the Xcode license agreements. You must agree to both license agreements below in order to use Xcode.
[...]
After you have accepted it, the commandline tools will work as expected.
If you've installed developer tools on OS X Mavericks Ruby 1.8 is already installed along with 2.0.
So all you need to do is switch the 'Current' symbolic link to point to the 1.8 directory.
#Install Xcode Developer tools
xcode-select --install
#Delete Current symbolic link to Ruby 2.0
sudo rm /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current
#Create new Current symbolic link to Ruby 1.8
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current
#Check Ruby version is 1.8.7
ruby -v
Try this (ensure the dev toolchain is reachable):
$ sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode5-DP.app/Contents/Developer
Then retry.
Try switching your compiler
rvm install 1.8.7 --with-gcc=clang

Not sure what happened but I just tried the same thing and now it's working perfect. Thank you everyone who left a helpful comment, it's greatly appreciated!
You need to update Command Line Tools to latest version, also for ruby 1.9.3 it is still preferred to use gcc-4.2 for compilation.
Also make sure you update RVM before trying again:
rvm get head
rvm install 1.9.2
Finally, Ruby 2.0.0 should be compatible with 1.9.3 and you should update.
I ran into similar issues trying to install Ruby on Rails on Lion a month ago. In the end, I used an installer. If using an installer is a viable option for you, check out the Rails Installer.
try to use this it will install all
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/joshfng/railsready/master/railsready.sh && bash railsready.sh

Ruby has disappeared. Help me reinstall ruby-1.9.3-p194

I'm brand new to Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and am currently going through Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial. Or at least I was before trying to load install some open source code led me down a dark journey. I somehow managed to delete any version of Ruby from my computer and RVM won't let me reinstall it using rvm install 1.9.3 (or using the Jewelry Box). I also tried uninstalling Xcode and installing osx-gcc-installer per other instructions I found to no avail.
Added context: running ruby -v makes the system hang.
Here's the error:
ruby-1.9.3-p194 - #configuring

Reinstall everything!!!
That may sound like a noob one-hit-wonder type of solution. But trust me when I say it will save you time
EDIT:
Things to do is...
Install homebrew, if you don't already have it.
Implode RVM. This would take down all the rubies and remove RVM
If you are on OS X Mountain Lion, run CC=/Developer/usr/bin/gcc. This uses good old gcc
Reinstall RVM
rvm install 1.9.3
Enjoy (:
If you're on Mac OS X, you might have a much easier time getting Ruby 1.9.3-p194 using homebrew.
The installation with homebrew installed should be as easy as:
$ brew install ruby
There are quite a few other resources available to you that are linked specifically by version; Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard, etc... at download ruby.
I think you can edit as follows and it will be resolved

I went and read the log files it mentioned but that lead nowhere. Any idea what I should do? I've practically Googled my face off and can't find a solution.
this looks suspicious, how did you installed RVM ?
the simplest solution is to:
touch /Users/DavesPiece/.rvm/config/packages
If you don't have Xcode, you'll need to install it. If you have Lion 10.7.3 or above you can find it in the App Store. Otherwise, you will need to go to the Apple Developer site (requires account) to find instructions for downloading and installing it.
Also, if you're on Lion, you may need to download and install GCC-10.7-v2.pkg. If you see a message about your compiler being LLVM based, you may need to use this command instead:
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.2-p290 --enable-shared
Without having seen your configure.log this is just a best guess.
Can't install Ruby under Lion with RVM – GCC issues
