Answer 1

Explaining my comment...

Update RVM to latest development version (but stable should work too):

rvm get head

Install all required libraries for ruby (autolibs=4 is for full automation):

rvm --autolibs=4 --debug requirements

Finally reinstall ruby:

rvm reinstall 1.9.3

You can enable full library automation within RVM for next commands with:

rvm autolibs enable
