Anyone have an idea as to what this error means? I'm attempting to install Ruby 1.9.3

Error running ' ./configure --prefix=/Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125 --enable-shared --disable-install-doc --with-libyaml --with-opt-dir=/Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/usr ', please read /Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/configure.log
There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.

$ cat /Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/configure.log

  • What operating system are you using? – Charles Caldwell Apr 10 '12 at 15:34

  • you should probably do `cat /Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/configure.log` and print that output into the question as well. Or, `cat /Users/coreycallahan/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.3-p125/configure.log|pbcopy` and it will save you having to copy it. – Sandro Apr 10 '12 at 15:47

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Do you have permission to write in the directory where you're compiling?
