Ruby errors with OS X Yosemite

Question

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am running into all sorts of issues running my Rails app. I'm constantly seeing the following error:

ruby(11958,0x7fff7e430300) malloc: *** error for object 0x7f880b801808: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Abort trap: 6

Any ideas how to fix this?

Edit

I tried following the suggestions on this page:

How to get Ruby / Homebrew / RVM to work on Yosemite?

But when I edit brew.rb to change the path to "Current," I get the error:

Homebrew requires Leopard or higher. For Tiger support, see:
https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew

Solution

I completely removed rvm and reinstalled from scratch. In order to remove rvm, I first had to run

rvm fix-permissions

then

rvm implode

I then followed the directions on this page:

Does the ruby process exit? Does apple's crash reporter launch? — Jared Beck, Oct 21 '14 at 04:50
@JaredBeck yes ruby process exits, but apple doesn't launch a crash report. — scientiffic, Oct 21 '14 at 13:47
@sylar almost any rails command. for example, 'rails s' gives me that error. — scientiffic, Oct 21 '14 at 14:16
@scientiffic I would uninstall every ruby and rails then reinstall them. I would also do a gem update --system. But it's weird as I've upgraded with no issues with any ruby or rails on my MBP. — Sylar, Oct 21 '14 at 14:33
You should be able to write an Answer, instead of editing your own question with a solution. Something to try in the future, perhaps. — Jared Beck, Oct 23 '14 at 02:38

rbenv is pretty good too. I've been using it since my first ruby/rails days without an error.
