I’m trying to install through RVM but just installing Ruby from source isn’t helping. I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on. I tried appending --with-gcc=clang and env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks.

    You have an incompatibly-built version of libz installed in /usr/local/lib, perhaps from Homebrew, probably a 32-bit only version where now you need a 64-bit or universal version. You could just delete it at the risk of breaking something else you have installed or you could update it. A safer option: temporarily mv it to another location before you install ruby and then mv it back. You shouldn’t need it as OS X supplies a version of libz.
