RVM Ruby 1.9.3 Errors in Mac 10.8.2

Question

I am trying to install Ruby using RVM in Mountain Lion and keep on getting errors while running make, even when I do so with gcc=clang (as is the recommended solution on other posts). I have XCode updated with command line utilities installed.

The make.log reads

    [2013-02-18 17:37:00] make

The same is true when I do not specify gcc, and when I try to install with openssl and a standalone gcc package as per the recommendations here

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

Although when I tried to specify my local gcc I am told it's not in my path:

$ CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p194 --enable-shared --without-tk --without-tcl
You requested building with '/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2' but it is not in your path.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

are you sure you have GCC installed? i think I had the same issue and reinstalling of GCC helped — Ilya Cherevkov, Feb 18 '13 at 23:55

@IlyaCherevkov I have GCC installed but it is not linked brew install apple-gcc42 Error: apple-gcc42-4.2.1-5666.3 already installed, it's just not linked' might this be the problem? If so- any recommendations with respect to linking it- I'm not sure how — batpigandme, Feb 19 '13 at 13:08
@mpapis I tried the methods from that thread, but couldn't get any of them to work for me (I have run the homebrew methods, but for some reason cannot get my gcc 'linked') - I wasn't sure what forum etiquette what re. adding my own issue to the bottom of that thread - apologies if I went about it the wrong way- thanks for the link! — batpigandme, Feb 19 '13 at 13:13

when I run it '--with-gcc=gcc-4.2' I still get the make error I then tried the new experimental method (with rvm get branch) and it resulted in (had to delete some code for length) '...

please make a [gist](https://gist.github.com) of the commands and error log and open a [ticket for RVM](https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues) – mpapis Feb 19 '13 at 15:06
