I just forked a Repo and RVM wants to install a new version of Ruby in order to run it. The repo’s Gemfile and Gemspec do not specify a Ruby Version. I know very little about RVM. When I try to go ahead with the installation, I get seemingly obscure error messages such as 

The provided compiler '/usr/bin/gcc' is LLVM based, it is not yet fully supported by ruby and gems, please read `rvm requirements`.

and when running bundle install:

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Where should I start in order to understand this situation? Reading ‘rvm requirements’ made me believe that I needed to install a new binary installer. That course of action intuitively seems like a rabbit hole.

Thanks in advance, Michael.

    Does the project you just cloned have a .rvmrc file included? If so, this is probably where the version requirement is coming from.
