Every time I run rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p320 I get the following message. 

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/ruby-1.9.2-p320.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for osx.
Can not find compiler and 'make' tool - make sure Xcode and/or Command Line Tools are installed.
Requirements installation failed with status: 11.

I am just starting to try to learn to program and I understand I need to be able to install and run different versions of ruby other than the default 1.8.something. I have close to no idea what I am doing so please dumb-down any answer. Thanks in advance.

    This line says it all: **Can not find compiler and 'make' tool - make sure Xcode and/or Command Line Tools are installed.** –  Aug 23 '13 at 02:25
  • It's recommended (e.g., here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4360110/installing-gcc-to-mac-os-x-leopard-without-installing-xcode) to install Xcode. – lurker Aug 23 '13 at 02:48

As very obvious by the error that rvm is looking for gcc compiler is not able to find it. Two ways to fix this: 1) Install the gcc compiler specific to your osx form https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer

2)

  1. Install Xcode

  2. Since the latest version of xcode no longer ship command line tools with it, install command-line tools

Xcode 4.4 and later install Command Line Tools
