Getting Ruby 1.8.7 installed on Mountain Lion (10.8)

Question

I\'m having a lot of trouble getting Ruby 1.8.7 installed on my clean install of Mountain Lion. I\'ve looked around on Stack Overflow and don\'t see anything that specifical

Answer 1

Just to follow up to Paul's post. I'm running OSX 10.8.2, had 1.9.3 install without issues, but 1.8.7-p370 also failed. I symlinked gcc-4.2:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

...successfully ran:

brew install tcl

...but tk failed:

brewk install tk

If you're in the same spot, this command did the trick:

CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm reinstall 1.8.7 --without-tk
