Reinstall RVM resulting in Unrecognized command line argument 'impode' - ruby

Question

Before I can say: "I've tried everything", I should post here. So, here is my problem.
I had a problem with ruby 1.9.3-p194. My terminal just got stuck on every(!) command involving ruby or rails. (e.g. rails s mongrel or even rails -v and ruby -v)
It all started with this strange thing:
$ rvm use 1.9.3-p194
Using /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194
$ bundle exec rails s mongrel
and then it got stuck.
So, I wanted to know which versions of ruby I got installed:
$ rvm list
rvm rubies
ruby-1.8.7-p370 [ i686 ]
# => - current
# =* - current && default
# * - default
Huh?! So am I using a non-installed ruby-version?
After some research many advices were to reinstall the whole package.
So, I tried.
$ rvm uninstall 1.9.3-p194
Removing /usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p194...
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194 has already been removed.
and again, just to make sure..
$ rvm uninstall 1.9.3-p194
/usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p194 has already been removed.
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194 has already been removed.
Well, that looks good. (Except for the fact that half of it was already removed on the first try... :| )
Then:
Error #1
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3-p194

/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194 has already been removed.

next step was:

Removing /usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p194...
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194 has already been removed.
Removing default ruby interpreter
$ rvm list
rvm rubies
# No rvm rubies installed yet. Try 'rvm help install'.
So I checked the help install, but found nothing that might help. At least, I haven't seen a solution..
Next:
Error #2
$ rvm install 1.9.3-p194

There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.
Now, I wanted to uninstall rvm:
$ brew uninstall rvm
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/rvm
Okay.. Let's check if it still works..?
$ rvm
<listed standard output, thought that'd be useless here..>
Yes, it's still there. Let's try to install 1.9.3 again..
Error #2 (Same as before..)
$ rvm install 1.9.3

Then I found a 'solution...', #not..
$ umask g+w
$ export -a rvm_configure_env
$ rvm_configure_env=('LDFLAGS=-L/opt/sm/pkg/active/lib' 'CFLAGS=-I/opt/sm/pkg/active/include' 'CPATH=/opt/sm/pkg/active/include')
Didn't work out..
I tried to install 1.9.3 again, which again raised error #2
That's it I thought. Let's implode the whole bunch.. (read that as a possible solution)
$ rvm implode
Are you SURE you wish for rvm to implode?
This will recursively remove /usr/local/rvm and other rvm traces?
(anything other than 'yes' will cancel) > yes
Removing rvm-shipped binaries (rvm-prompt, rvm, rvm-sudo rvm-shell and rvm-auto-ruby)
Removing rvm wrappers in /usr/local/rvm/bin
Hai! Removing /usr/local/rvm
rm: /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh: Permission denied
/usr/local/rvm has been removed.
rvm has been fully removed. Note you may need to manually remove /etc/rvmrc and ~/.rvmrc if they exist still.
Oh.. Permission denied nice...
$ sudo rvm implode
Password:
sudo: rvm: command not found
Hurrayy! It finally is removed.
Let's install it again..
$ gem install rvm
Successfully installed rvm-1.11.3.5
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rvm-1.11.3.5...
Installing RDoc documentation for rvm-1.11.3.5...
What?! After just one try? Okay.. :)
But then....
Error #3
$ rvm install 1.9.3-p194
cat: /usr/local/rvm/VERSION: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/base: No such file or directory

impode.. ? Whut?! Well, this is probably from an earlier typo..
Then I tried some other commands returning the same error over and over again:
ifonteijne:dash Kers$ rvm install 1.9.3-p194
cat: /usr/local/rvm/VERSION: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/base: No such file or directory

-bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/base: No such file or directory

Now I am stuck as .....
If someone can help me out, please.
I want to install: Ruby 1.9.3-p194 through RVM
== Edit ==
Tried:
$ bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer )
# Kers,

# Thank you for using RVM!
# I sincerely hope that RVM helps to make your life easier and more enjoyable!!!

Well, that worked.

Answer 1

Fixed it thanks to the comment of rik.vanmechelen.
Conclusion:
Remove Ruby
$ ruby implode
Install Ruby
Note: ==> Make Bootstrap takes a (very) long time.
$ curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
Install gcc
Note: This is not the standard command for it, I used it because of a Xcode 'Command line' error.
$ brew install --use-llvm gcc
Install Rails
$ sudo gem install rails
Then I was good to go.
rik.vanmechelen, thanks again.
