I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion. A project I’m working on requires gem sys-proctable as a dependency, but when I run bundle install I get:

An error occurred while installing sys-proctable (0.9.2), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sys-proctable -v '0.9.2'` succeeds before bundling.

But I do have developer tools installed! Running gem install sys-proctable -v '0.9.2' gives me nearly the same error:

Now I recently reinstalled XCode and Command Line Tools, but I’m worried that I somehow fucked up my C compiler, because when I try to run rvm --force install 1.9.3 I get the following errors:

It turns out this is a bug in RailsInstaller OSX 1.0.3 – (Found that out while reading Problems installing Ruby on Mountain Lion – ruby 1.9.3 wont' compile)

I needed to change /etc/rvmrc to contain this:

umask g+w
export -a rvm_configure_env
rvm_configure_env=('LDFLAGS=-L/opt/sm/pkg/active/lib' 'CFLAGS=-I/opt/sm/pkg/active/include' 'CPATH=/opt/sm/pkg/active/include')

For more info see: https://github.com/railsinstaller/railsinstaller-nix/issues/10
